## Resource

Mike McCarthy takes the reins of the Pittsburgh Steelers for the first time in 19 years, stepping into a playoff-caliber team instead of a rebuilding one — a rare and high-pressure scenario. With Aaron Rodgers at QB and Patrick Graham tasked with defending a veteran but aging defense, the real test is whether McCarthy can elevate this squad beyond the postseason. His past playoff records are mixed, but the Steelers’ foundation and young talent give him a chance. Can he deliver a deep run — or will the weight of expectations crumble under the spotlight?
