The Pittsburgh Steelers are not always the team that everybody loves, or at least loves the chances of their having success in any particular season. Often enough, though, they somehow find a way to exceed expectations—even if those expectations are low.
The 2022 season would qualify as one of those seasons in which there isn’t much expected from the six-time Super Bowl champions. Coming off of the end of the Ben Roethlisberger era, with a Bears castoff and a rookie from one of the weakest quarterback classes in decades, there aren’t a lot of people betting on them finding Lombardi number seven this year.
