Few expected the Pittsburgh Steelers to be a bad team in 2024. That said, it feels like they’re outperforming expectations. Behind Justin Fields for the first six games, and now Russell Wilson, who seems to have revived his career, the Steelers have done well for themselves so far. Pittsburgh is 7-2, slightly ahead of the 7-3 Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North.
With the Steelers being one of the top teams in the entire league at this point, as well as the fact that they’ve got the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL, it’s no surprise that Mike Tomlin has a solid chance at winning the Coach of the Year award.
