The Pittsburgh Steelers have made the playoffs in four of the past five seasons. Considering some of the long playoff droughts teams have experienced across the league, that’s an impressive feat. However, they haven’t had any success in those four appearances. Part of the reason for that is because the Steelers are usually a Wild Card team, forcing them to play on the road in the postseason. With Russell Wilson quarterbacking the 2024 squad, Pittsburgh wasn’t able to win the AFC North, something they last accomplished in 2020. Sam Darnold could change that in 2025, though.
Along with Wilson, Darnold will be one of the top quarterbacks in free agency come March.
