## Resource

Pittsburgh’s got a new coach, Super Bowl champ Mike McCarthy, aiming to end their playoff drought—backed by veteran talent and a revamped roster. Aaron Rodgers returns for his 22nd season, pairing with McCarthy for the first time, showing flashes last year with quick passes and DK Metcalf. They’ve added Michael Pittman Jr. to the receiving corps. Defense, which struggled against the pass last year, hopes T.J. Watt rebounds with more sacks, while new additions like Jamel Dean and Jaquan Brisker aim to boost consistency. Special teams could soar with Chris Boswell’s leg and rookie Kaden Wetjen, a college return TD machine. If McCarthy can unlock Rodgers and the defense clicks, the Steelers could pull off a surprise season.
