ESPN Still Has No Faith in Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been predicted to earn the first losing season of the Mike Tomlin era.

PITTSBURGH -- ESPN's Mike Clay does not have high hopes for the Pittsburgh Steelers this coming season and said as much inClay doesn't think the Steelers will be able to contend with one of the toughest schedules in professional football this coming season and will end up an 8-9 record that puts them at the bottom of the AFC North.

Clay has Baltimore taking the division crown for a second straight year, followed by the Bengals and Browns. All three teams are predicted to post double-digit win totals. It all boils down to some skepticism of the offense and the passing game in particular. Clay sees the Steelers defense as a potentially elite unit again in 2024, the fourth-best in the league, in fact. But he ranks the offense as the 27th-best in the NFL due in large part to questions at quarterback, wide receiver and offensive line.

Against the third-hardest schedule in football, Clay sees the Steelers losing games to the Falcons, Cowboys, Colts, Bengals, Jets, Chiefs and Eagles and losing all of their divisional games. The Steelers have been historically better than that against the rest of the AFC North, but Clay still predicts the first losing season of the Mike Tomlin era to come in 2024 nonetheless.
