Stop me if you’ve heard this before in the last few years: the Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a make-or-break season this fall.
It seems like the last three years or so has been all about the Steelers’ window closing and that if they can’t get over the hump with Ben Roethlisberger aging, that this could be the end current competitive window as we know it. Spoiler: the Steelers haven’t gotten over the hump in recent years, and yet here they still are…competing.
Well, the 2021 season is shaping up to be another one of those seasons, according to Bleacher Report, which listed the Steelers as one of five teams facing a make or break 2021 season, citing Roethlisberger’s age and the loss of some significant defensive pieces in free agency.
