The improbable run of the Pittsburgh Steelers continued on Sunday as they pulled on a 23-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Nothing is certain but for right now the Steelers are the hottest team in football and look like the last team anyone wants to play right now. Here are our big takeaways from the win.

A confident Duck is a dangerous Duck

Over the course of his three starts, we’ve seen the confidence of Devlin Hodges go up each week. We saw the Steelers’ coaches open up the playbook a little more for Hodges this week and he responded. His physical gifts have never been in question but seeing him so at ease running the offense gives us confidence he can face off against teams like the Bills and Ravens down the stretch.
