It was a roller-coaster regular season for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they seem to be rolling in the right direction. The Steelers have won four of their last five, beat the Baltimore Ravens in a Week 18 thriller to win the AFC North, and are set to host a playoff game for the first time since 2020.
It wasn’t always pretty, and it certainly was never easy, but the Steelers were battle-tested this year, having stared down adversity time and time again and found ways to win football games. It has them prepared for the playoffs, even if they are viewed as postseason underdogs and a team that isn’t much of a threat in general.
