Not often is “flying under the radar” and the Pittsburgh Steelers mentioned in the same sentence, but that is exactly what Bill Cowher thinks is happening. The high profile guys like Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown are gone and now the team is trying to stay out of the media and just focusing on football.

Cowher points out that with all the buzz around the Cleveland Browns and with Lamar Jackson entering his second year for the Baltimore Ravens, people are forgetting that the Steelers still have a strong team.

“For the first time, they are kind of flying under the radar a little bit because all of the talk has been about Baker Mayfield and Odell up in Cleveland,” said The NFL Today analyst Bill Cowher in an interview with CBS Local’s DJ Sixsmith at NFL on CBS Media Day. “Then there is Lamar Jackson’s second year in Baltimore after making the playoffs last year and then Zac Taylor coming in as the new coach in Cincinnati. That whole division has something to be looking forward to this year.”

Cowher thinks that as long as the team stays healthy, they are going to be fine and even though they are under the radar now, that is not where they will be when the season ends.

“We’ll see how they get through the preseason and whether they come through it healthy. But, the offensive and defensive lines are very solid and if they can stay healthy, they are going to be a tough out,” said Cowher.

The Steelers are still getting attention just because of the team name, but Cowher is right, the hype is not surrounding this team that has been there in years past.
