PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will return from the bye week looking to remain in first place in the AFC North and build upon their 3-2 start to the season. While it hasn’t been perfect, where this team sits leaves plenty of optimism, and what’s to come after the break could bring even more.

As the team returns, they’ll prepare for the Los Angeles Rams with a chance to move to 4-2 and begin a winning streak much like they did a year ago. And looking at their schedule, the Steelers could go on quiet a run with the opponents they have coming up.

When it comes to their roster, what’s the one change they can make to improve things from within? There are two trains of thought - both on offense - that could jump start some momentum for this group. Both are pretty simple moves, too.

What about from the outside? Is there a move the Steelers can make to really put a stamp on their 2023 team? Yes, there’s actually two.

Pittsburgh has been linked to two stars this season, and approaching a possible trade should be at the front of their minds as they work through the bye week. If they can secure one move, this team takes a significant step in the right direction, and becomes even more dangerous than they were before the bye.

Bold predictions, must-make moves and trades are the hottest topics of conversation this week for the Steelers.
