An unlucky 2019 may make 2020 a great year for the Steelers

Most of us in Steelers country probably remember 2019 as one of the unluckiest in memory. First, Antonio Brown lost his mind in the offseason and got himself traded for a song (just after Le’Veon Bell officially found a new home). Then, six quarters into the campaign, Ben Roethlisberger suffered the first season-ending injury of his brutal career, and the Steelers couldn’t even summon Landry Jones (on contract with the XFL) to play stopgap. Injuries hobbled Pro Bowlers JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Conner, as well as rising star Stephon Tuitt, and three camp darlings who made the team (Kam Kelly, Johnny Holton, and Donte Moncrief) wound up as liabilities.
