Just a few short months ago, there was a lot of excitement regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers and the work that GM Omar Khan did in free agency, the draft, and via trades, reshaping the roster in the blink of an eye.
It happened to be the busiest offseason ever in franchise history, to boot.
Most importantly, the quarterback room seemed upgraded with the additions of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields as the Steelers moved on from Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph.
The arrow was very clearly pointing up and people were even talking about the Steelers being a legitimate playoff team, one that could go on a run with the defense that they have.
