Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers continue searching for the right formula to contend for the Super Bowl. Last season, despite strengthening their quarterback room, the results were just as disappointing.

Justin Fields led the team to a 4-2 record, and in the most controversial decision of the year, Tomlin named Russell Wilson the starting quarterback for Week 7 against the Jets. The move seemed to work as they reached a 10-3 record, but no one expected what would happen next.

The Steelers lost the last four games of the season against the Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, and the Bengals. Then, in the Wild Card round, Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry dominated them in Baltimore with nearly 300 rushing yards, eliminating them from the playoffs.
