With the Steelers seemingly trending up in just about every way, we look at one of this week's list of the NFL Power Rankings. This is how Nate Davis of USA Today sees the league stacking up, although other writers have similar feelings about the Steelers: that we haven't arrived yet. Davis has the Steelers moving up one spot to #12 despite there being very few teams in the NFL currently sitting at 4-1. But, the Steelers are ranked higher than all other AFC North teams: the Ravens are #24, the Bengals are #25, and the Browns are at #29. Tampa Bay is #1, and the basement is occupied by the NFL's only winless team, the Jets. Here are the USA Today Week 7 NFL Power Rankings, with reasoning behind each team's positioning: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2025/10/14/nfl-power-rankings-week-7-lions-bills-lose-rams-buccaneers/86683935007/
