The Steelers’ tight end is no phased.
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth is having one of the best stretches of his career. Over the last five games, he has 18 catches and three touchdowns and he is on pace for the most productive season he’s had since his rookie season in 2021.
The Steelers are gearing up for a three-game stretch that features three of the top teams in the NFL, facing the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens in three consecutive weeks. Freiermuth was asked about this, to which he didn’t seem worried in the least.
“It’s a great opportunity for us to go against three playoff teams,” Freiermuth said. “We’re a pretty good damn football team ourselves, so we’ve gotta continue to execute.”
The #Steelers next three opponents have a combined 31-8 record.
TE Pat Freiermuth is looking forward to it.

The Steelers are looking to break a 60-year long drought this Sunday, considering they haven’t won in Philadelphia since 1965. The Steelers have the AFC North title within reach, and a win over the Eagles would all but plant the division in their palms.
