In the 2000s, the Pittsburgh Steelers returned to their winning ways, capturing two Super Bowl championships. They had a tight-knit group that dominated for most of that decade. However, Father Time catches everyone. Eventually, the Steelers lost most of their core pieces that helped them succeed. In the 2010s, they underwent a shift, going from a defensive-centric team to being more defined by their offense. James Harrison recently talked about how those two eras were different.
“From the time I was in Pittsburgh from 2002-2012, that’s what we had,” Harrison said Friday of the team’s camaraderie on his Deebo and Joe podcast.
