The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2019 season is now officially over, ending with a 8-8 record after dropping their final three games. Had they won two of those three games, and finished 10-6 or better, they would have had a playoff spot. Even the fifth seed, if one of those wins came over the Buffalo Bills.
Nevertheless, the fact that the Steelers were even part of the conversation for a postseason berth considering where they were a month into the season, and what they’ve been through, is remarkable in and of itself.
The vast majority of the season saw Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges as the team’s starting quarterbacks.
