Bold Prediction: The Steelers Finish with 6 Wins or Fewer
Pittsburgh went 10-7 last year. But that came by sweeping Baltimore twice in situations not likely to repeat — the Ravens defense was torn apart by injuries, and Tyler Loop missed that last-second kick in Week 18. They scored wins over New England, Minnesota, Cincinnati and Detroit that would be tough to repeat. They had the 12th-best record in football but the 18th-best point differential. Now, Aaron Rodgers is back and 42. And he’s not an outlier — the Steelers had the second-oldest snap-weighted roster in the NFL last year, and adding 28-year-olds in Michael Pittman Jr. and Rico Dowdle (28 this weekend) don’t help that. With the Bengals and Ravens expected to be better in 2026 than they were in 2025 and with new coach Mike McCarthy definitely not Mike Tomlin, this should finally be the year the Steelers have to tear it down and start over.
