The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t necessarily been the most deserving of fan support this season, and perhaps they haven’t always gotten in, but the way that the season ended with two key victories at Heinz Field over the final three weeks of the season, I think, showed just how much this team will always mean to the city of Pittsburgh, no matter what is going on, on or off the field.
Even in the midst of a baffling losing streak heading into a critical game against the New England Patriots, the Steelers’ fanbase was ready and engaged for that one, even though most in the stadium perhaps didn’t have many hopes of their team actually coming up with the victory.
