Now condensed into one package for your viewing enjoyment (or pain, let's be real), the Days Of Our Steelers is what you could call a soap opera for the ages. A tale long brewing and festering in the grimy pit of Heinz Field. All of the tension and drama finally boiled over in spectacular fashion last season.
What began as off-the-field calamities and tensions with Le'Veon Bell transformed into on-field carnage: Routinely blowing winnable games with shocking efficiency. At the end, despite finally beating New England, the damage was done: The Steelers, considered a Super Bowl contender at the start of the year, failed to make the playoffs. It was a catastrophic failure.
Somehow it didn't even end there. The offseason was full of even more drama and chaos by means of Antonio Brown, culminating in his eventual trade for pennies on the dollar via the cancer tax. As a result, most of the high-end talent that kept carrying them to victory is gone. Roethlisberger is being raked through the coals by the media. Mike Tomlin's job security is being routinely questioned. The season would shake the football world to its very core... and the rest of the AFC North cheers in delight.
