PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have entered this offseason in unfamiliar territory.
It’s not just that the team has a question mark at starting quarterback for the first time in nearly two decades after the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, it’s that the Steelers are on the brink of a rebuilding season -- and the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t do rebuilds.
The team hasn’t had a losing season since 2003, and hasn’t finished last in its division since 1988.
To avoid breaking those streaks in a division that boasts the Super Bowl runner-up in the Cincinnati Bengals, the 2019 MVP in the Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, and the Cleveland Browns’ top-4 rushing attack, the next four months will go a long way to determining the direction of the 2022 Steelers, beginning with free agency in March.
