Pittsburgh Steelers. 20. team. 55. . .

20. Pittsburgh Steelers

I would love to know who in the Pittsburgh Steelers organization sincerely thought Ben Roethlisberger had another year left in him.

Ben is old, can’t move, and has a deteriorating arm.  Their offensive line isn’t good, they wasted a pick on Najee Harris when they should have taken offensive line help, and they don’t have their quarterback of the future on their roster.

The Steelers simply don’t have losing records, but this year might be that rare occurrence.

Big Ben is surely retiring at the end of this season, and they’ll have notable free agents to try to re-sign, like JuJu Smith-Schuster.

The AFC North has three very talented teams, but the Steelers aren’t one of them.

I think the Steelers struggle their way to 7 or 8 wins, which would mark the beginning of an uncharacteristic rebuild in the Steel City.
