Summary
The Pittsburgh Steelers, fresh off an AFC North title, start strong with a home win against the Falcons but falter with losses to the Patriots and Bengals. They bounce back with a Thursday night win against the Browns, securing victories against the Colts, Buccaneers, Saints in Paris, and another Browns matchup, putting them at six and two before the bye week. The new head coach, Mike McCarthy, aims to fix last seasons offensive woes amid a tough road slate. However, predictions see them dropping games to the Bengals, Eagles, and Broncos, dropping them to six and five. They rally with wins over the Texans, Jaguars, Panthers, and Titans, hitting ten and six before the finale. But in week eighteen at home against the Ravens, they come up empty, missing the playoffs in a gritty, defense-heavy campaign under McCarthy.
