The NFL’s 2022 season hasn’t even come to a close, still hours away from tonight’s Super Bowl 57 finale, but Sports Illustrated has already taken a peek towards 2023. In a way-too-early power rankings for next season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are slotted towards the tops of the league. Writer Vinnie Iyer places Pittsburgh 12th overall and offers an encouraging message:
“Stay on high alert with the Steelers, who yet again avoided a losing season under Mike Tomlin while going through a major change at quarterback for the first time in a long time. Speaking of QB, look for the team to take advantage of Kenny Pickett’s second-year promise and making sure it is dangerous enough elsewhere.
