In February 2009, the Steelers became the first NFL franchise to win six Super Bowls. They held that accolade until earlier this year, when the Patriots defeated the Rams in Super Bowl LIII to win their sixth.
Obviously, this is a painful reality for Steeler Nation. Fans of the Steelers are proud and loyal and having the most success in league history was a wonderful thing to claim. Sadly, the Steelers are no longer alone atop the pecking order.
The Steelers are going through culture changes, and the timing couldn’t be any better. The noisy, drama-filled nonsense had gone on long enough.
