The Pittsburgh Steelers in 2015 returned to being one of the top teams in the AFC. They were able to edge out division rival Cincinnati in the first round of the playoffs, but went on to lose to the eventual Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos. This season, they will be looking to improve on last year’s mark and go further in the playoffs.
2015 record: 10-6
Key draft picks: CB Artie Burns, S Sean Davis
Key additions: TE Ladarius Green, CB William Gay, WR Darrius Heyward-Bey
Key departures: OT Mike Adams, TE Heath Miller
The Steelers could open up the season without star running back Le’Veon Bell for the second straight season. Bell could be facing a four-game suspension after missing a drug test. The Steelers offense has been able to adjust without Bell in the backfield. DeAngelo Williams is more than capable of carrying the load until he returns.
Pittsburgh’s offense is centered around the passing game as Ben Roethlisberger continues to perform like a top ten QB and Antonio Brown has created the case for him to be considered the best receiver in the game. Last season the Steelers were 3rd in the league in passing offense where Brown had 1,834 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns.
The Steelers will need production out of other receivers with Martavis Bryant being suspended for the year. Players like Markus Wheaton, Sammie Coates and Darrius Heyward-Bey will see increased time in his absence.
Defense has always been a focal point for this team, but they had mixed results last season. They were fifth in the NFL in rushing yards allowed, keeping teams less than 100 yards a game. The pass defense was much more giving, allowing almost 272 yards a game and ranking the Steelers at 30th in the league. Read more..
