The Pittsburgh Steelers spent decades looking for “one for the thumb”, that is, a fifth Super Bowl championship and its accompanying ring. They became the first franchise in NFL history in the late 1970s to win three, and then to win four, but it took them until 2005 to get number five. The sixth followed a short three years later.
They’ve been on the “Stairway to Seven” ever since then, nearing that “decades” threshold at this point heading into the 2023 season, but the goal never wavers. It’s the Super Bowl, and everybody who comes to Pittsburgh understands that, including nose defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko.
