The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to defy expectations by finding ways to win games, despite being outgained in all eight of their matchups so far this season. With a current record of 6-3, the Steelers have become the only team since 1933 to maintain a winning record after being outgained by their first eight opponents.

The Steelers' success becomes even more impressive when considering their -26 point differential, indicating that they have been outscored by their opponents throughout the season. Typically, such a statistic would not bode well for a team's success, but the Steelers have managed to overcome this hurdle.

Looking ahead to Week 11, the Steelers are set to face off against the Cleveland Browns, who boast one of the most formidable defenses in the NFL. However, the Steelers may catch a break as they learn that Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will be sidelined due to a shoulder injury, potentially giving the Steelers the boost they need to continue their improbable run.

Despite the odds being stacked against them, the Steelers have consistently found ways to come out on top. Their ability to weather the storm and capitalize on opportunities has cemented their reputation as a resilient and gutsy team. Head coach Mike Tomlin and his players have shown great determination and resourcefulness, proving that sometimes, numbers on paper don't tell the whole story.

As the Steelers prepare for their clash with the Browns, fans and analysts alike are curious to see if they can again defy the odds and maintain their winning streak. The game will undoubtedly test the Steelers' mettle, but given their track record, it would be unwise to count them out.

The Steelers' success in the face of adversity is a testament to the resilience and determination of the team. Regardless of the final outcome, their improbable run in the 2021 season is a reminder to never underestimate the underdog.
