Quietly, the Pittsburgh Steelers have built a rather solid team overall.
Only problem — seemingly — is that it comes in a gauntlet of an AFC picture entering the 2023 season. Top to bottom, the AFC has some major firepower, which will create a muddled playoff picture overall.
That muddled playoff picture along with some massive names joining new teams in the AFC has the Steelers being largely overlooked when it comes to the playoff picture in the AFC, let alone in the hierarchy within the AFC North.
Former NFL cornerback Domonique Foxworth, appearing on ESPN’s Get Up Monday morning, went in the opposite direction with the Steelers, stating that it’s time for the media to accept that the Steelers are going to make a playoff run in 2023, and that they are a better team than many analysts remember.
