Steelers` Streak in Jeopardy as 2025 Season Approaches

Steelers face a critical season ahead, risking their 18-year .500 streak amid rising competition and uncertainty.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, under the watchful eye of coach Mike Tomlin, are facing a daunting reality as they prepare for the 2025 NFL season. With a projected win total of just 7.0 games, the team is on the brink of breaking their impressive streak of 18 consecutive seasons with a .500 record or better. Their playoff probability sits at a disheartening 17.4%, ranking them fifth-lowest in the league, just ahead of teams like the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers.

Concerns loom large over the Steelers` offensive line, which struggled last season, allowing the fifth-highest pressure and sack rates. The team’s recent form has been troubling, having lost five of their last seven regular-season games in 2024, culminating in a wild-card playoff defeat to the Ravens. As the season draws near, the outlook appears challenging for the storied franchise.

In contrast, the Jacksonville Jaguars are generating buzz as a potential breakout team, while the Buffalo Bills are being touted as the new standard in the league. The Detroit Lions may face a sobering reality check after their previous success, and the San Francisco 49ers are eyeing a rebound from a disappointing year. The unpredictability of the NFL continues to reign, with every season promising fresh surprises and new narratives. For more insights, check out the NFL team stats and NFL predictions.
