Recently, I published a pair of essays reimagining the Steelers’ most recent decade if a handful of bounces had gone differently. (Find them here and here.) Aggravating as it was to relive some of those moments, I couldn’t get the great “what if” out of my head. So, as we wait to discover if the 2020 season is even going to happen (another great “what if”), I’m back for a little more punishment — this time through the whole history of the franchise.
This will be a five part series, asking questions and exploring some possible answers through the Steelers’ 87 years in existence.
