Description

The Pittsburgh Steelers, despite a chance to clinch the AFC North title, are grappling with numerous challenges in the 2025 season. Their offense, led by 41-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers, is plagued by inconsistency and a lack of depth at wide receiver. The young and inexperienced offensive line also contributes to their struggles. On defense, the highest-paid unit in the NFL ranks only 20th in scoring, despite being led by top-paid players like T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. The teams defensive coordinator, Teryl Austin, has struggled to find consistency, and the trade for Minkah Fitzpatrick has not yielded the expected results. These issues raise questions about the Steelers long-standing defense-first philosophy and could lead to significant changes in their approach.
