Winning while building.
That's a view of the Steelers season after four games.
It's both apt and optimistic for a 3-1 team that saw a 50 percent turnover of the players (who comprised the top 13 amount of snaps on both sides of the ball) in the 2024 and 2025 openers.
Fifty percent turnover is a massive change. And the turnover from 2024 playoff lineup to 2025 opener was 38 percent, still a sizable turnover.
For a coach whose goal of the preseason was to get his players to "the starting line" in good health, the building -- the true team building -- didn't begin until the regular season did.
And the Steelers have obviously improved from Week One to Week Four, when the sizable import of new players began to settle in.
The Steelers entered their bye week at 3-1 with road wins against two AFC opponents. The fact they rank 29th in offense and 28th in defense offers promise that so much improvement is yet to occur.
How did they do it?
Well, their "turnover culture" is alive and well. The Steelers are second in the NFL with a +7 margin in turnovers, much of that due to a third-place standing in total sacks with 14.
They are also seventh in red zone TD percentage, so they not only get extra chances with turnovers, they take advantage with touchdowns.
Individually, only Aaron Rodgers has a top-10 spot in key rankings. The Steelers' new QB is fourth with 8 TD passes and ninth with a 102.6 passer rating.
But statistics don't tell the story of "winning while building" at 3-1. The highlights have kept Steelers Nation on the edge of its collective seat throughout the first quarter of the season. Here's a game-by-game look at the best of the first four games:
Steelers 34, Jets 32
- First TD of the season a play-action, roll right pass from Rodgers to a wide open Ben Skowronek.
- Chris Boswell kicked field goals of 56 and a team-record 60 yards, the latter turning out to be the game-winner with 1:03 remaining.
- On a late-game fourth-and-3 for the Jets, Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey drilled Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson to jar the ball loose and seal the Steelers' win.

Steelers 24, Vikings 21
- Gainwell, starting for an injured Jaylen Warren, got a 99-yard rushing day off and running with a 1-yard TD run late in the first quarter that put the Steelers ahead, 7-3. Gainwell would add 35 receiving yards to his offensive display in this game in Dublin.
- A short slant over the middle to Metcalf went 80 yards for a touchdown when the powerful receiver broke a tackle and outran the Vikings' secondary. He got a key block by Austin to finish the play and give the Steelers a 14-3 lead.
- Harmon deflected a Carson Wentz pass that was intercepted by DeShon Elliott on a third-and-8 play in the middle of the second quarter.
- Another big deflection by Heyward resulted in an interception by Watt at the line of scrimmage. He returned it 13 yards to the Minnesota 35 to set up ...
- Gainwell's 4-yard TD run behind Pat Freiermuth and Spencer Anderson that gave the Steelers a 21-6 lead entering the fourth quarter.
- The Vikings rallied, but were stymied by a tremendous hustle play by Wilson. The Steelers' inside linebacker ran down Vikings WR Jordan Addison from behind with a diving tackle at the Pittsburgh 1. The 81-yard catch-and-run by Addison eventually resulted in a fourth-down Vikings TD, but Wilson's hustle forced the Vikings to whittle more than a minute off the clock in a three-point game.
- The Vikings got the ball one more time, and a Herbig pressure resulted in Wentz intentionally grounding the ball. The 15-yard penalty (and 10-second runoff) set up second-and-26 from which the Vikings couldn't recover. Elliott's pass breakup on fourth down sealed the win for the Steelers.
