A win is a win, but week 1 had the Steelers winning in Buffalo and the Packers scoring 3 points and looking like absolute trash.  I'm of the mind that going against the reigning MVP QB on a "prove it" tour is going to be a test.  Our D has done well, but it was also against the week 1 Vikings, Andy Dalton (actually, they didn't do too well against him) and Justin Fields (who got decimated by the Browns), a Jaguars offense that has been awful and turned the ball over like crazy against everyone except us, and a Steelers team we're gleefully declaring DONE.

So yea, this game should be quite the step up from the first 4 games.  And yes, it should be a test for the offense, too.  If Mixon isn't playing or is limited that's going to add to the pressure for Burrow to throw the ball 50+ times to keep up with Rodgers.
