Steelers

AFC North · 2026–27 season

The story so far

Steelers fans opened the year bracing for collapse, hitting despair after a Week 2 loss in New England and fuming over a late collapse in Cleveland. A five-game surge capped by a 27-6 rout of the Browns has them at 6-2 and euphoric, with DK Metcalf's hands their lone gripe.
