Pittsburgh Steelers fans generally seem to prefer going into a season with the outside world doubting their team, questioning their talent and ability to have success that year. whether true or not, there is the assumption that they perform at a higher level when they’re not viewed as a favorite to win.
Even though they won the division last year, they’re certainly not favorites in 2021. It seems as though few are even expecting them to make it out of the AFC North this year, with the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns both seen as in front of them.
