But does it still work in Today’s NFL? In wake of the Kanas City Chiefs’ 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 57, the Steeler way not only seems outdated and stale but dead-wrong in a quarterback-driven NFL where elite teams routinely put up nearly 40 points a game, no matter what kind of offense and defense they’re facing.
