The AFC North runs through Pittsburgh in the second half of the 2024 season—or perhaps, the Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin run through the AFC North. Over the final eight weeks of the season, the Steelers play the entirety of their divisional slate. All six games against their three divisional rivals take place between November 17 and January 5.
Steelers fans have certainly voiced their opinion about this, but the players are not concerned. Defensive captain Cameron Heyward already made it clear that he doesn’t care what the schedule looks like. Fellow lineman Breiden Fehoko also expressed optimism they will rise to the challenge—because of Mike Tomlin.
