For the second straight season, Pittsburgh finished 10-7 before losing in the Wild Card last year. While the Steelers have never had a losing season in 18 years under head coach Mike Tomlin, they have lost a franchise record six straight playoff games, with their last playoff win coming back in the 2016 season.
Pittsburgh must find a quarterback, with both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields leaving via free agency. The Steelers have been linked to Aaron Rodgers, but that is far from a foregone conclusion.
In each of the last two years, the Steelers have used their first round pick on an offensive lineman, with Pittsburgh using both their first-round pick (Troy Fautanu) and second round pick (Zach Frazier) in 2024 on an OL. With RB Najee Harris also leaving via free agency, the Steelers could look to add another running back in the draft this year.
