NFL insider compares Steelers’ legitimacy to 8-1 Detroit Lions

Jordan Schultz compares the Steelers to the 8-1 Detroit Lions, highlighting their ability to wear down opponents after a loss.

Surprisingly enough, on a recent episode of The Herd, hosted by the ever-polarizing Colin Cowherd, there was a Pittsburgh Steelers love fest taking place.

Cowherd hosted NFL insider Jordan Schultz, who was asked what he believes the true ceiling for the 7-2 Steelers is. It felt like before Cowherd could finish asking, Schultz was off to the races, singing the Steel City’s praises through 11 weeks of football.

Schultz claimed that Russell Wilson had further solidified the Steelers as contenders, going as far as to compare Pittsburgh to perhaps the best team in the National Football League—the 8-1 Detroit Lions.

Schultz argued that Pittsburgh and Detroit both seem to leave opposing teams in worse shape once they defeat them. His claims were supported by Washington’s recent collapse against Philadelphia on Thursday Night Football in Week 11, only four short days after the Steelers’ Week 10 28-27 victory over the Commanders.

Fans of the Steelers are hoping the same can apply to a potential Week 11 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, as the AFC North rivals are closing the distance in a tight divisional title race.

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz is bullish on the New York Jets potential on offense

On FS1, Jordan Schultz talks the potential of the New York Jets offense.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz is all in on the potential for the New York Jets to have a big season.

And Schultz’s optimism is based first and foremost on the potential for the Jets on the offensive side of the ball.

The Jets defense, which is projected to be a top-three unit in the NFL this season, is certainly the foundation for the franchise’s playoff hopes. But the offense is certainly brimming with the chance to be pretty, pretty good.

And during an appearance this week on FS1, Schultz certainly made the case for why the Jets offense can take a huge step forward this offseason.

“I’m so bullish on the Jets. I’ve said it before, I’ve said it again: Aaron Rodgers is a force multiplier. And when you give him Garrett Wilson, an ascending superstar. Breece Hall, who is going to skyrocket and become one of the premier backs in this league – an ascending superstar,” Schultz said on ‘Speak’ on FS1.

“You add Morgan Moses, you add Tyron Smith, you add Olu Fashanu…Not to mention, you bring in my man Malachi Corley out of Western Kentucky who is…Debo Samuel 2.0. He does a lot of the same type of things. He is malicious with the football, you don’t want to tackle this man in space

“Then you go out and get Mike Williams, a big play threat, who is healthy and doesn’t have the knee issue.”

Last year, with Rodgers missing what amounted to the entirety of the season due to an Achilles injury, the Jets were the second-worst offense in the NFL.

A healthy Rodgers likely means that the Jets can be among the best offensive units in the NFL in 2024.
