Last Updated on October 14, 2025 2:24 pm by Erwin Noguera

Team Overview

The Steelers enter the 2025 season with renewed ambition. General Manager Omar Khan solidified key acquisitions: quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a one-year deal, D.K. Metcalf via trade from Seattle, plus cornerback Darius Slay and Kenneth Gainwell in free agency. In the draft, Pittsburgh added defensive tackle Derrick Harmon and Kaleb Johnson.

Offensive Line Analysis

The Steelers shifted Broderick Jones back to his natural position at left tackle. He’s shown maturity and improved execution in preseason work under coach Pat Meyer, becoming a key protector for Rodgers. The Unit remains anchored by this key move, though detailed projection metrics aren’t yet available.

Defensive Line Analysis

With the season approaching, the Steelers’ defensive front is experiencing a period of transition due to pivotal offseason moves, injuries, and emerging talent.
We have veteran Cameron Heyward, a perennial anchor who signed a three-year extension in 2024 and remains a team captain. T.J. Watt continues as the primary pass-rush force, delivering elite-level production.
With rookie Derrick Harmon sidelined due to injuries, Yahya Black has stepped into a larger role. He made a splash in preseason with two sacks and a forced fumble, earning a rotation spot.
Other depth pieces on the current roster include Keeanu Benton, Dean Lowry, Logan Lee, DeMarvin Leal, and roster Mainstays like Montravius Adams.

2025 NFL Season

Week 7 Preview

Bengals vs. Steelers:Thursday, October 16 at 8:15 pm ET, 7:15 pm CST, 6:15 pm MT, and 5:15 pm PT

The Steelers handled Cleveland 23-9 in Week 6, leaning on a physical defense and opportunistic offense to control the game from start to finish.

In Week 7, Pittsburgh hosts the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football and opens as the favorite. The Steelers expect to see a more composed offense with Joe Flacco under center, but they also see an opportunity to pressure an aging quarterback behind a line that has struggled. Their secondary should get a boost with the expected return of Joey Porter Jr., bolstering coverage matchups against Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins if both are active.

Pittsburgh views this game as a chance to create more separation in the AFC North, especially with Baltimore and Cleveland battling injuries and inconsistency.

Week 6 Preview

Steelers vs. Browns: Sunday, October 12 at 1:00 pm ET, 12:00 pm CST, 11:00 am MT, and 10:00 am PT

The Steelers come into Week 6 riding a bye week and sitting 3-1, matched up against a Cleveland squad that is 1-4 and looking to rebound.

One of the biggest storylines will be the return of Joey Porter Jr., who’s expected back after recovering from a hamstring injury. His presence could provide a much-needed boost to a secondary already missing Jalen Ramsey.

On offense, Pittsburgh needs to continue protecting Aaron Rodgers and avoid the kind of turnovers or sacks that have bitten them in tight games.

Week 5 Preview

Pittsburgh comes off its bye week sitting at 3-1, riding momentum after a gritty 21-21 win over Minnesota in Dublin, where Kenneth Gainwell led the ground game and Aaron Rodgers played efficiently.

The Steelers must maintain consistency in their rushing attack, especially with Jaylen Warren still recovering, and Gainwell shouldering a heavier load. Defensively, they’ve generated pressure, but sustaining that with upcoming offenses will be key, especially as injuries could sap depth.

Week 4 Preview

Steelers vs. Vikings: Sunday, September 28 at 9:30 am ET, 8:30 am CST, 7:30 am MT, and 6:30 am PT at Croke Park.

In Week 4, the Steelers will face the Minnesota Vikings in a special venue: Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland. Despite their win in Week 3, Pittsburgh enters as a narrow underdog in this matchup. The Vikings arrive off a dominant performance in Week 3, which included defensive touchdowns and a strong showing overall. Key issues for the Steelers will include how well they can protect Aaron Rodgers (especially given ongoing concerns about the offensive line), whether their pass rush can continue producing without all starters healthy, and how the secondary handles Minnesota’s weapons.

If Pittsburgh can generate turnovers like they did against New England, stay disciplined on third downs, and avoid explosive plays, they may be able to steal this one.

Week 3 Roundup

Pittsburgh improved to 2-1 on the season with a hard-fought 21-14 road win over the New England Patriots. Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes, including the game-winner to Calvin Austin in the final minutes, and did enough to keep the offense moving despite a relatively modest yardage total.

The defense was the star, forcing five turnovers and delivering five sacks. Edge players stepped up in place of injured starters, with Nick Herbig, T.J. Watt, and Brandin Echols among those making big plays. However, weaknesses remain: The defense continues to struggle with giving up big plays and has trouble on third downs. Offensive efficiency outside big moments is inconsistent, especially in the run game.

Overall, the win provides momentum, but the Steelers also showed areas they’ll need to tighten up going forward.

Week 3 Preview

Steelers vs. Patriots: Sunday, September 21 at 1:00 pm ET, 12:00 pm CST, 11:00 am MT, and 10:00 am PT at Gillette Stadium.

The Pittsburgh Steelers enter Week 3 at 1-1 and will host the New England Patriots in a matchup that looks tight on paper, with the Steelers having a slight edge at home. The team is dealing with a concerning wave of injuries on defense: Alex Highsmith is sidelined with a high ankle sprain, Derrick Harmon has an MCL Sprain, Deshon Elliot is managing a Knee issue, and both Isaiahh Loudermilk and Joey Porter Jr. are questionable, leaving major gaps in the pass rush and secondary. That puts extra pressure on the offense, where Aaron Rodgers will look to rebound after an inconsistent outing against Seattle.

Establishing rhythm in the passing game, leaning on the run to balance drives, and avoiding turnovers will be key if the Steelers hope to control the tempo. Defensively, even with injuries, Pittsburgh must find ways to generate pressure and limit big plays, as allowing New England to dictate pace could put them on the back foot quickly.

Week 2 Preview

Steelers vs. Seahawks: Sunday, September 14 at 1:00 pm ET, 12:00 pm CST, 11:00 am MT, and 10:00 am PT at Acrisure Stadium.

Pittsburgh’s Week 2 relies on converting Russell’s excellence and improving a struggling defense.. The offense has momentum; the defense, recalibrating. If Peppers integrates quickly and Rodgers maintains his groove, they could emerge with a statement win. Otherwise, Seattle’s offense might expose its vulnerabilities.

Week 1 Roundup

The Steelers edged the Jets 34-32, capped off by Chris Boswell’s 60-yard field goal. Aaron Rodgers continued his elite form with 244 passing yards and four touchdowns, moving within one of tying Brett Favre’s all-time TB pass.

Week 1

The Steelers host the New York Jets, giving Aaron Rodfers a dramatic return to MetLife Stadium against his former team.

Odds to Win Division and Super Bowl

Odds to Win AFC North: The Steelers are currently listed at +500 to win the AFC North, indicating they are not the favorites but still have a competitive chance in a tough division.

Odds to Win the Super Bowl: With odds at +4000, the Steelers are considered long shots for the Super Bowl.

Predictions

Overall Record: The Steelers are projected to finish the season with a 9-8 or 10-7 record, placing them fourth in the AFC North.

Playoff Chances: Sneak into the Wild Card, dependent on QB health and defense continuity.

Super Bowl Chances: Very Slim, +4000 odds reflect that; the best-case scenario is a deep playoff run, not a title push.

The Steelers enter a transitional 2025, anchored by a stable coaching staff and a solid defense. Veterans like Rodgers and upgraded OL play could spark improvement, but external skepticism suggests tempered expectations.
