Russell Wilson returns to Pro Bowl form. Justin Fields plays a key complementary role, T.J. Watt finally wins his second Defensive Player of the Year, and the Pittsburgh Steelers banish the Kansas City Chiefs to the shadow realm as Pittsburgh wins its seventh Lombardi Trophy. That’s how Rich Eisen thinks the Steelers season could play out in a best-case world.
In an exercise he’s doing for all 32 teams, this is not an ironclad prediction. But Eisen is looking at the ceiling for each team if everything goes according to plan. For the Steelers, that’s not only shedding their playoff demons but adding another trophy and ring to the franchise’s collection.
