With the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers facing each other this weekend, Steelers Wire managing editor Curt Popejoy and I got together to find out more about each team’s opponent.

Since the Cardinals only face the Steelers once every four seasons, there is a lot to learn.

Here is what he told me.

No Ben Roethlisberger, no AB, no Le’Veon Bell. How have the Steelers managed to turn around an 0-3 start to a 7-5 record?

First and foremost it has been the job head coach Mike Tomlin has done. He’s rallied this team around a bunch of backups and convinced them they can win. But the improvements on defense can’t be understated. From the moment the team traded for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick this unit has gotten steadily better.
