Visão geral da equipe
Os Steelers entram na temporada de 2025 com ambição renovada. O gerente geral Omar Khan consolidou aquisições importantes: o quarterback Aaron Rodgers em um contrato de um ano, o defensor Metcalf em troca com Seattle, além dos cornerbacks Darius Slay e Kenneth Gainwell na free agency. No draft, Pittsburgh adicionou o defensive tackle Derrick Harmon e Kaleb Johnson.
Análise da linha ofensiva
Os Steelers transferiram Broderick Jones de volta à sua posição natural como left tackle. Ele demonstrou maturidade e melhorou sua execução na pré-temporada sob o comando do técnico Pat Meyer, tornando-se um defensor fundamental para Rodgers. A Unidade permanece ancorada nessa mudança crucial, embora as métricas detalhadas de projeção ainda não estejam disponíveis.
Análise da Linha Defensiva
Com a temporada se aproximando, a linha defensiva dos Steelers está passando por um período de transição devido a movimentações cruciais na offseason, lesões e talentos emergentes.
Temos o veterano Cameron Heyward, um âncora constante que assinou uma extensão de três anos em 2024 e continua como capitão do time. TJ Watt continua como a principal força do pass-rush, entregando uma produção de alto nível.
Com o novato Derrick Harmon afastado devido a lesões, Yahya Black assumiu um papel mais importante. Ele causou impacto na pré-temporada com dois sacks e um fumble forçado, garantindo uma vaga na rotação.
Outras peças de profundidade no elenco atual incluem Keeanu Benton, Dean Lowry, Logan Lee, DeMarvin Leal e pilares do elenco como Montravius Adams.
Temporada da NFL de 2025
Rodada Curinga
Steelers vs. Texans: Monday, January 12 at 8:00 pm ET, 7:00 pm CST, 6:00 pm MT, and 5:00 pm PT
In Week 18, the Steelers closed out the regular season in dramatic fashion, edging the Baltimore Ravens 26-24 to clinch the AFC North title and a playoff berth. Pittsburgh trailed at times but rallied in a wild fourth quarter that featured multiple lead changes, with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers engineering a late touchdown drive and finding Calvin Austin in the end zone with under a minute remaining to put the Steelers ahead.
Now, the Steelers turn their attention to the AFC Wild Card Round, where they will host the Houston Texans on Monday night. Pittsburgh’s late-season surge has given the team momentum heading into the playoffs, and hosting a home game in the Wild Card round, especially after winning the division, gives the Steelers a tangible edge as they seek their first playoff victory since 2016.
Semana 18
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens: Sunday, January 4 at 8:20 pm ET, 7:20 pm CST, 6:20 pm MT, and 5:20 pm PT.
In Week 17, the Steelers saw their AFC North hopes slip away as they fell 13-6 on the road to the Cleveland Browns, a surprising result that now sets up a winner-take-all regular-season finale in Week 18.
Now, Pittsburgh returns home to host the Baltimore Ravens in a clash for the title and a spot in the postseason. This matchup has taken on huge significance after the Steelers’ setback in Week 17 and the Ravens’ surge, and it will effectively serve as a playoff game to decide which team advances to the next round. Pittsburgh will need a complete performance on both sides of the ball. Offensively, protection and execution on early downs must improve to keep drives alive and avoid past red-zone struggles. Meanwhile, the run game, led by Jaylen Warren, will be critical in controlling tempo and setting up manageable passing situations. Defensively, Pittsburgh must tighten coverage and generate more consistent pressure without over-committing, especially against a Ravens offense that can strike in multiple ways.
The Steelers made some practice squad roster moves ahead of Week 18, elevating players like defensive tackle Kyler Baugh to provide depth and fine-tune the roster for this critical finale. However, wide receiver DK Metcalf remains suspended, and his absence continues to impact the offensive versatility.
Semana 17
Browns vs. Steelers: Sunday, December 28, at 1:00 pm ET, 12:00 pm CST, 11:00 am MT, and 10:00 am PT
In Week 16, the Steelers earned a dramatic 29-24 road win over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, improving to 9-6 and keeping their AFC North destiny squarely in their own hands.
Looking ahead, in Week 17, Pittsburgh travels to Cleveland to face the Browns, a divisional rivalry game that carries enormous significance for the AFC standings. With the Steelers sitting at 9-6 and seeking to solidify their hold on the division, this matchup could be pivotal in shaping which team controls its destiny in the playoff hunt.
Offensively, Pittsburgh must continue to execute with balance, protecting Rodgers and sustaining drives early to prevent Cleveland’s defense from dictating rhythm. The run game, which flourished in Week 16 with Warren’s explosiveness, will again be crucial in controlling tempo and keeping the opposing pass rush honest.
Defensively, the Steelers must tighten coverage and limit big plays—especially through the air— while generating pressure on the Browns’ quarterback. Winning the turnover battle and forcing Cleveland into unfavorable situations will be essential if Pittsburgh hopes to enter the final weeks in firm control of the AFC North.
Semana 16
Lions vs. Steelers: Sunday, December 21 at 4:25 pm ET, 3:25 pm CST, 2:25 pm MT, and 1:25 pm PT
Pittsburgh closed Week 15 with a strong 28-15 road win over the Miami Dolphins, a result that reinforced their position in the AFC North race and restored momentum after an uneven stretch.
In Week 16, Pittsburgh hits the road to face the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, a pivotal interconference matchup that looms large for both clubs as the regular season nears its conclusion.
Pittsburgh’s offense will need to navigate Detroit’s varied fronts and explosive skill players, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers expected to lean on quick reads and intermediate timing to avoid becoming overwhelmed by the Lions’ pass rush and tempo.
On defense, Pittsburgh must tighten perimeter coverage and generate more consistent pressure without sacrificing assignment integrity. Rookie defensive tackle Derrick Harmon is expected to be back from injury, which could help the Steelers contain Detroit’s ground game and disrupt timing in the backfield.
Semana 15
Miami Dolphins vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: Monday, December 15 at 8:15 pm ET, 7:15 pm CST, 6:15 pm MT, and 5:15 pm PT.
Pittsburgh traveled to Baltimore and pulled off a gritty 27-22 road win over the Baltimore Ravens, seizing sole control of the AFC North heading into the final stretch. The game featured a bounce-back offensive performance from Aaron Rodgers, who completed 23 of 34 passes for 284 yards and a touchdown—his most live-wire half of football all season.
This victory lifts the Steelers to 7-6, a crucial position with four games left in the regular season.
In Week 15, Pittsburgh hits the road again, this time to face the Dolphins. The matchup offers both an opportunity and a test: a win would extend their lead in the AFC North and rebuild momentum, but they’ll need to bring consistency on offense, discipline on defense, and clean special-teams play if they hope to avoid the kind of collapse that has plagued them before.
Given Rodgers’ rebound performance in Week 14 and Metcalf’s resurgence, the passing attack could be a key weapon.
With the division still up for grabs, this game feels like more than just another read trip—it’s a mid-season playoff-caliber test.
Semana 14
Ravens vs. Steelers: Sunday, December 7 at 1:00 pm ET, 12:00 pm CST, 11:00 am PM MT, and 10:00 am PT
The Steelers suffered a costly setback in Week 13, falling at home to the Buffalo Bills in a performance that once again highlighted their inconsistencies on both sides of the ball.
Aaron Rodgers returned from his wrist injury and brought improved command to the offense, yet the unit continued to struggle with stalled drives, protection breakdowns, and a lack of explosive plays.
Week 14 brings a high-stakes divisional test as the Steelers travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens in one of the toughest environments in the NFL. Rodgers’ health and rhythm will remain central to Pittsburgh’s hopes, but the offense must elevate on all levels.
The run game will need to stay efficient to keep Baltimore’s aggressive defense honest, while Pittsburgh’s own defense must play its most disciplined football of the season. With the AFC North still tightly contested, Week 14 becomes a defining moment: either the Steelers respond with urgency and resilience, or they risk slipping further back in a division where every detail and every mistake carries postseason consequences.
Semana 13
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Buffalo Bills: Sunday, November 30 at 4:25 pm ET, 3:25 pm CST, 2:25 pm MT, and 1:25 pm PT
In Week 12, the Steelers’ season hit another bump. They fell 31-28 on the road to the Chicago Bears, dropping to 6-5 and slipping back into a tight race in the AFC North.
Looking ahead to Week 13, the Steelers turn to a major rebound opportunity as they host the Buffalo Bills at home, a matchup that could prove pivotal for their postseason hopes. The return of Aaron Rodgers is expected this week after missing Week 12 with a wrist injury, according to Coach Mike Tomlin.
However, questions remain over Pittsburgh’s depth chart. The injuries to Jones, Joey Porter Jr., and D.K. Metcalf from the Bears game have exposed how fragile the roster can be, and the front office and coaching staff will need to prioritize health management and smart rotations.
Semana 12
Chicago Bears vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: Sunday, November 23 at 1:00 pm ET, 12:00 pm CST, 11:00 am MT, and 10:00 am PT
In Week 11, the Steelers defeated the Bengals 34-12, leaning heavily on defense to dominate the second half. Pittsburgh’s defense scored twice—a pick-six by Kyle Dugger and a fumble return for a touchdown—turning the game decisively in their favor. The Bengals’ offense couldn’t answer back, and Pittsburgh protected the ball well while forcing turnovers. Meanwhile, veteran cornerback Darius Slay remained out due to a concussion, per the Steelers’ injury report, putting pressure on their secondary.
Looking ahead to Week 12, the Steelers are likely to be without Aaron Rodgers, who left the Bengals game with a left wrist injury that’s now being evaluated for a possible fracture. With Rodgers’ status up in the air, Mason Rudolph could start, which would place even more emphasis on the Steelers’ balanced game plan and run/pass mix.
To bolster their secondary depth, the team recently signed cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., who cleared medical protocols following spinal fusion surgery and could contribute soon. At the same time, linebacker Mark Robinson and cornerback D’Shawn Jamison were elevated for week 11 action.
Semana 11
Steelers vs. Bengals: Sunday, November 16 at 2:00 pm ET, 1:00 pm CST, 12:00 pm MT, and 11:00 am PT
In Week 10, the Steelers suffered a sobering 25-10 road loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, dropping their record to 5-4 and putting their AFC North lead under pressure. The offense, led by Aaron Rodfers, produced its worst outing of the season, with Rodfers completing just 16 of 31 attempts for 161 yards, two interceptions, and a passer rating of 50.6. The offensive line faltered, giving up a sack that resulted in a safety, and the team’s special teams also made costly errors. With several losses in four weeks, the Steelers now see the rest of their schedule, including divisional games, as crucial turning points rather than just another stretch.
Looking ahead to Week 11, Pittsburgh returns home to host their AFC North rival, the Cincinnati Bengals. The matchup is loaded with underlying storylines: The Steelers must address their offensive stagnation, protect Rodgers better, and shore up a defense that still shows promise but is vulnerable to big plays. With Slay’s injury and their recent slide, the back-end is under scrutiny. The news cycle ahead of the game also highlights Coach Tomlin’s focus on stability in the secondary, rather than moving Pro Bowl safety Jalen Ramsey out of the safety spot. He expressed confidence in Ramsey and James Pierre as the corner opposite, showing the team is trying to find internal solutions. With the Bengals returning from their bye week and the Steelers desperate to bounce back, this divisional contest could serve as a barometer for Pittsburgh’s second-half hopes.
Semana 10
Chargers vs. Steelers: Sunday, November 9 at 9:20 pm ET, 8:20 pm CST, 7:20 pm MT, and 6:20 pm PT.
In Week 9, the Steelers delivered a much-needed bounce-back by defeating the Indianapolis Colts 27-20 at home, moving their record to 5-3 in the process. The Steelers also announced two injury concerns: starting guard Isaac Seumalo and cornerback Darius Slay.
Looking ahead to Week 10, the Steelers travel to face the Los Angeles Chargers in what has been projected as a key Sunday Night Football contest. The matchup presents both a chance and a warning: Pittsburgh’s defense must maintain the creative approach that produced the win against the Colts, especially since Los Angeles offers a balanced offense that can punish mistakes. The Steelers also find themselves at a critical juncture— a win here solidifies their status as AFC North frontrunners, but a loss could unleash renewed questions about their ability to win on the road and sustain defensive consistency.
Semana 9
Steelers vs. Colts: Sunday, November 2 at 2:00 pm ET, 1:00 pm CST, 12:00 pm MT, and 11:00 pm PT
In Week 8, the Stellers hosted the Green Bay Packers and fell 35-25 after building an early lead but losing control in the second half. Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers managed 219 yards and two scores, but the defense gave up the lead by allowing a 21-point surge in the fourth quarter.
Looking ahead to Week 9, the Steelers will host the Indianapolis Colts, a matchup that tests Pittsburgh’s faltering defense and overall momentum. Pittsburgh is in urgent need of stabilization: the offense, anchored by Rodgers, has shown flashes but remains inconsistent, and the defense must rebound from recent breakdowns. Linebacker Wilson has been elevated to special teams captain, replacing the injured Killebrew, signaling some internal restructuring. Given the upcoming challenge and mounting criticism of the defense, this game may serve as a turning point for the Steelers—either they regain direction or risk slipping further out of contention.
Semana 8
Steelers vs. Packers: Sunday, October 26 at 8:20 pm ET, 7:20 pm CST, 6:20 pm MT, and 5:20 pm PT.
In Week 7, the Steelers came up short in a tight but disappointing home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, dropping their record to 4-2 and slipping fourth in the AFC playoff picture despite still leading the AFC North.
Pittsburgh will host the Green Bay Packers in a Sunday Night Football matchup that carries extra intrigue: Rodgers will face his former team for the first time since his departure, and the Steelers aim to bounce back after the Week 7 setback. In a division where momentum shifts quickly, the Steelers know a win here is necessary to reassert control of the North and quiet growing doubts about their ability to close tight games.
Semana 7
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.
Semana 6
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.
Semana 5
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.
Semana 4
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.
Semana 3
Steelers x Patriots: Domingo, 21 de setembro, às 13h00 (horário do leste dos EUA), 12h00 (horário do centro da cidade), 11h00 (horário da montanha) e 10h00 (horário do Pacífico) no Gillette Stadium.
O Pittsburgh Steelers entra na Semana 3 com um recorde de 1-1 e receberá o New England Patriots em um confronto que parece equilibrado no papel, com os Steelers tendo uma ligeira vantagem em casa. A equipe está lidando com uma onda preocupante de lesões na defesa: Alex Highsmith está afastado com uma entorse no tornozelo, Derrick Harmon tem uma entorse no ligamento colateral medial, Deshon Elliot está lidando com um problema no joelho e Isaiahh Loudermilk e Joey Porter Jr. são questionáveis, deixando grandes lacunas no pass rush e na secundária. Isso coloca pressão extra no ataque, onde Aaron Rodgers buscará se recuperar após uma atuação inconsistente contra Seattle.
Estabelecer ritmo no jogo aéreo, apostar na corrida para equilibrar as investidas e evitar turnovers será fundamental se os Steelers quiserem controlar o ritmo. Defensivamente, mesmo com lesões, Pittsburgh precisa encontrar maneiras de gerar pressão e limitar jogadas decisivas, já que permitir que a Nova Inglaterra dite o ritmo pode colocá-los em desvantagem rapidamente.
Semana 2
Steelers x Seahawks: Domingo, 14 de setembro, às 13h00 (horário do leste dos EUA), 12h00 (horário do centro da cidade), 11h00 (horário da montanha) e 10h00 (horário do Pacífico) no Acrisure Stadium.
A Semana 2 de Pittsburgh depende da conversão da excelência de Russell e da melhoria de uma defesa em dificuldades. O ataque está em ritmo; a defesa, em processo de recalibração. Se Peppers se integrar rapidamente e Rodgers mantiver seu ritmo, eles podem sair com uma vitória marcante. Caso contrário, o ataque de Seattle pode expor suas vulnerabilidades.
Resumo da Semana 1
Os Steelers venceram os Jets por 34 a 32, coroados pelo field goal de 60 jardas de Chris Boswell. Aaron Rodgers manteve sua forma de elite com 244 jardas aéreas e quatro touchdowns, ficando a apenas um de empatar o maior passe para touchdown da história de Brett Favre.
Semana 1
Os Steelers recebem o New York Jets, dando a Aaron Rodfers um retorno dramático ao MetLife Stadium contra seu antigo time.
Chances de ganhar a divisão e o Super Bowl
Probabilidades de ganhar na AFC North: Os Steelers estão atualmente listados com +500 para vencer a AFC North, indicando que eles não são os favoritos, mas ainda têm uma chance competitiva em uma divisão difícil.
Chances de ganhar o Super Bowl: Com odds de +4000, os Steelers são considerados azarões para o Super Bowl.
Previsões
Registro geral: A projeção é que os Steelers terminem a temporada com um recorde de 9-8 ou 10-7, ficando em quarto lugar na AFC Norte.
Chances de playoff: Entre no Wild Card, dependendo da saúde do QB e da continuidade da defesa.
Chances do Super Bowl: Muito pequeno, as probabilidades de +4000 refletem isso; o melhor cenário é uma longa corrida nos playoffs, não uma busca pelo título.
Os Steelers entram em um 2025 de transição, ancorados por uma comissão técnica estável e uma defesa sólida. Veteranos como Rodgers e um elenco de linha ofensiva aprimorado podem impulsionar melhorias, mas o ceticismo externo sugere expectativas moderadas.
