The Steelers sit at 3-1 after four games and a bye week, with four clear questions shaping their second half. Freiermuth needs a bigger role in the passing game, while the running back depth chart must settle between Warren and Gainwell. A strategic WR addition could be on the agenda if the aerial attack stalls, and Nick Herbig deserves the chance to start opposite TJ Watt to maximize pressure.

If these moves click, Pittsburgh can maintain its division edge and momentum through a demanding 13-game stretch, even as the health of Calvin Austin III and the line’s performance influence how aggressively they chase upgrades and lineup tweaks.
