As disappointing as the 2019 season was, there is plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the 2020 season for the Pittsburgh Steelers. We saw the defense ascend to the elite in the NFL thanks to the emergence of T.J. Watt and the addition of Minkah Fitzpatrick. And this offseason Pittsburgh has a chance to keep that momentum going along with bringing the offense back up to speed.
But there are always things that can go wrong. Here are four mistakes the Steelers could make this offseason to bungle their 2020 season.
Don’t have a plan B for Ben Roethlisberger
We should know if a week or two where Roethsliebrger is in his recovery from elbow surgery. The team has come out and said they are comfortable with the quarterback situation as of now but this update could change all that. One big misstep the Steelers could make is to not formulate a legitimate Plan B is Roethlisberger has a setback.
