If you trace back the most important moment in Pittsburgh Steelers history over the course of the past 40-plus years, it’s actually pretty easy to do. It was the moment that they had the opportunity and made the decision to use the 11-overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft to select quarterback Ben Roethlisberger out of Miami of Ohio.
They haven’t had a losing season since then, and won a couple of Super Bowl along the way, ending a decades-long dry spell. Granted, it’s been a dozen years since the last time they won the Super Bowl as well, but it’s not a very easy thing to do.
