**Going about their business:** Over the last four weeks, the Steelers have had their ups and downs, with a win, followed by a loss, followed by a win, and then a loss.
It's something that could play with the psyche if you let it, but inside the Steelers locker room, that isn't the case.
Cornerback Brandin Echols said the key is not riding the emotional roller coaster.
"I mean, we're pros," said Echols. "We go through that every week, regardless of what team, what person.
"That's the way we go about our business."
Echols learned in his career you can't get too high with the highs, or too low with the lows. He spent his first four seasons with the New York Jets, where they didn't have a winning season and seven wins were the most he saw.
To still be in the heat of things in the division heading into Thanksgiving weekend is something new for him.
"I was just talking to Donte (Kent) earlier," said Echols. "I told him this is the most I won up to this point. No disrespect to the Jets, but that is just what it was.
"This is what I've been looking for coming into my career and I'm glad to get a taste of it now.
"We've just got to keep the main thing the main thing. You can't take any game for granted. We have to work day in and day out.
"We have to continue to get better every week."
This week will be another tough test with the 7-4 Buffalo Bills coming to Acrisure Stadium on Sunday, led by quarterback Josh Allen.
Allen can be a threat with his arm or his legs, so it's something the defense has to be ready for.
"Details," said Echols of how to face the challenge. "Basically, that's all it comes down to. Details.
"From all three, special teams, offense and defense."
