Here is what stood out from the Steelers offense this season.
Going into the 2022 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense didn’t look like a unit that would contend for a playoff spot. New starters on the offensive line and a rookie quarterback aren’t exactly ingredients for success. But somehow this group showed steady improvement and helped the team to a 9-8 record. Here are the six biggest surprises from the Steelers offense in 2022.

Despite starting the season 2-6, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves “in the hunt” as they call it in the AFC playoff picture with five games left to play. It might take the Steelers going 5-0 in the final five games but with three AFC North games in the final five, anything is possible.
But will it happen? The odds are long as the Steelers sit at 5-7. However, Pittsburgh is 3-1 in its last four games and playing much better football. Even if the Steelers win out there are plenty of other dots that have to connect.

Will the Steelers finish the season on a roll?
It would appear the Pittsburgh Steelers have found new life since the bye week and are 3-1 over the last four games. This resurgence has given the fanbase new life and made us think we need to redo our season predictions for these final five games. Three of these five games will be against AFC North foes so even if the playoffs aren’t part of the equation there is still plenty on the line. Let us know in the comments how you think the Steelers will finish the season.
Updated season prediction for the Steelers season.
At the start of the season, we had high hopes for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even with the loss of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger this roster was loaded. But things haven’t gone according to plan and the Steelers are now 2-6 with nine games to play. We decided to update our predictions for wins and losses with nine games left and one of the easiest remaining schedules in the NFL.
The Steelers have plenty of work to do over the bye week.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are hopefully enjoying their bye week and using the time off to rest up, heal up and contemplate the second half of the season. Pittsburgh sits at 2-6 with nine games to play and there are more questions than answers about this team. Here are four things that must happen over the bye week.
Have the Steelers lived up to expectations through six games?
With six games in the books, the Pittsburgh Steelers season has not gone as planned. The team is 2-4 and has already seen a quarterback change. But that isn’t one of the biggest surprises from the first six games. Here are the four biggest surprises so far.
The entire Steelers coaching staff is on the hot seat.
Through five games, the Pittsburgh Steelers are 1-4 and rank near the bottom of every major statistical category on offense and defense. There has been plenty of finger-pointing at players and coaches. At this point, every coach on the team should feel their seats heating up with how poorly this team has played. Let’s rank this team’s coaching performances through 5 games.
