Though the 2024 season didn’t end in the fashion that many expected for the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially after the way they started the season, the fact of the matter is that the Steelers making the playoffs in the midst of major transition for the franchise was rather impressive any way you try and slice it.
They did so under the guidance of longtime head coach Mike Tomlin, who continues to find ways to win in the regular season, keeping the Steelers competitive year after year. Last season, despite the five-game losing streak to end the year, was another example of that, especially with some quarterback changes right before the start of the year, and then in the middle of the season.
