The Pittsburgh Steelers came here to chew gum and win Super Bowls. And they’re all out of gum. The normally careful franchise has made splash move after splash move this season, the swap of FS Minkah Fitzpatrick for CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith being the latest. All for a franchise tired of the same results of being bounced on Wild Card weekend.
“They have long been patient,” ESPN and beat writer Brooke Pryor said on Get Up Tuesday. “Drafting, developing. This team is out of patience. This is a team that is ready to win.”
Pittsburgh’s last postseason victory came in the 2016 Divisional Round over the Kansas City Chiefs before falling to – who else – the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.
