The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the greatest franchises in NFL history. They’re tied for the most Super Bowls won by a team, and they’re consistently a playoff team. However, recently, they’ve taken a step back. While the Steelers have still been in the playoff picture, they haven’t been an actual contender for years. Their lack of postseason success has been a thorn in the fan base’s side. Analyst Robert Mays believes Pittsburgh has had the stars to be successful, but that it’s made too many missteps to capitalize.
“When you have T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward, maybe not in their like absolute primes, but still playing at a very high level and you have the capability of fielding like a top-five defense, and you are a proud franchise, the Kenny Pickett, Matt Canada era is just unacceptable,” Mays said Monday on The Athletic Football Show.
