The standard is the standard.
This has been the mantra that Pittsburgh Steelers have lived by and what Mike Tomlin has emphasized throughout his tenure as the head coach. The “Standard” is playing winning football, making the playoffs, winning the AFC North, and contending for Super Bowls.
The Steelers have fallen short of that standard in recent seasons, having failed to win a playoff game since 2016. QB Kenny Pickett is looking to put that playoff victory drought to an end this season. Watching Steelers teams of the past and the success that they had, he has aggressively attacked this offseason, putting in the work necessary to take that step forward in Year Two the organization as well as the rest of Steelers Nation hopes he can make.
