The Pittsburgh Steelers had another disappointing season after failing to reach, once again, the playoffs. Though they won six of their last seven games, a 9-8 record wasn't enough to clinch a Wild Card ticket in the AFC. This was the first year after Ben Roethlisberger announced his retirement.
Mitch Trubisky began as the starter, but, prior to Week 5, head coach Mike Tomlin made the call thousands of fans were expecting. Rookie Kenny Pickett was in charge. For Tomlin, the streak of no losing seasons continued with sixteen. However, the Steelers haven't won a playoff game in the last six years. That's not a great standard for a franchise with six Super Bowls.
Now, after finishing third in the AFC North and toward the second year of Kenny Pickett, the opponents for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2023 season have been determined. Read here to check out all the details about their rivals.
2023 Pittsburgh Steelers schedule: Which are their opponents?
As usual, the Pittsburgh Steelers will face twice their AFC North divisional rivals during the 2023 season: the Baltimore Ravens, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns.
