Steelers Fans Face Another Mediocre Season: Aging Defense, Rodgers Return, and Playoff Hopes The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a familiar predicament, teetering on the edge of playoff contention with a mediocre nine-win projection. Their defense, once a formidable force, now ranks seventeenth in points allowed and twenty-sixth in yards, and its only getting older. The offense, relying on forty-one-year-old Aaron Rodgers, is a league-worst in passing depth. Fans are calling it an embarrassment, and Browns supporters are laughing, as the Steelers havent won a playoff game since 2016. The Browns, on the other hand, are looking to ditch the Deshaun Watson saga and bring in fresh quarterback options. Its a crossroads year for the division, but the Steelers risk prolonging their mediocrity unless they shake up the quarterback situation and rebuild their defense.
