The 33rd Team released their first 2023 power rankings this week, and the Pittsburgh Steelers came in at No. 16 in their opening iteration.
“The Steelers enter 2023 with a top-10 defense that has top-five upside. High-performing, physical defenses have been the norm in Pittsburgh for a long time. If the Steelers are going to improve, it will be on their offense. Pittsburgh has a good, young skill group and they improved its offensive line this offseason. If second-year QB Kenny Pickett can take a step forward, the Steelers can be a playoff team,” Ryan Reynolds writes.
