Last season, the Pittsburgh Steelers failed to get another playoff win, but it was a stellar campaign on the gridiron overall, culminating with Patrick Mahomes lifting the Lombardi Trophy alongside his Kansas City Chiefs teammates and coaches for the second straight year and third time in five years. Next term, the Arrowhead side will be aiming to become the first team in history to complete the threepeat, but with the returns to fitness of Joe Burrow and Aaron Rodgers, that will be no easy feat.

For the Steelers, they made it to the postseason after a year away, but they remain without a postseason victory since wins against the Miami Dolphins and the pre-Mahomes era Chiefs in 2017. They have brought in not one, but two marquee quarterbacks in the form of the veteran Russell Wilson, as well as Justin Fields. They will be hoping that those two can combine to trigger a deep postseason run next term.
Modern Times for Steelers fans
We are truly living in the modern age, and one of the main benefits of that is that there is no need for a cable subscription to catch all the best NFL action. Plenty of sports fans will be familiar with the online betting and casino industry, where sites have popped up to help users sift through an array of providers. They rank these sports and casino sites on everything from whether they provide low payment options to the range of betting markets or slot games available. What's this got to do with following the action? Well many of these sites offer live streaming as part of the service and the services themselves are a common way that sports fans ensure they're up-to-date with the games.
Speaking of the action: next season promises to be as wide open as ever. Not only are there the aforementioned Cincy and the Jets to contend with, but Lamar Jackson has returned the Baltimore Ravens to prominence and Josh Allen aims to bring that elusive maiden championship to the Bills mafia.
