Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to end their playoff win drought with the help of key players like Derrick Harmon and Germie Bernard.
The Steelers have the same goal as every season since 2016: to end the playoff win drought that has persisted for a decade now.
They are currently standing 16th in the National Football Conference with a 3-14 record and on a L9 streak.
It won't be Mike McCarthy or Aaron Rodgers that defines the 2026 season for Pittsburgh, but rather players who have yet to reach their ceiling.
Derrick Harmon flashed in 2025, but now it's time to put it all together and be a major contributor against the run and as a pass rusher.
Germie Bernard may be just a rookie, but the passing game's ceiling may rest on him, with his diverse skill set helping him fill any role that the offense needs.
He has already impressed his teammates with his football IQ this summer.
The Steelers' next game is vs Atlanta Falcons on 2026-09-13.
Whoever plays right tackle better be able to protect Aaron Rodgers during his swan song, with Dylan Cook and Troy Fautanu being considered for the job.
The Steelers were significantly better against the run with Derrick Harmon on the field, and he flashed as a pass rusher with three sacks in 12 games.
