No other team got hit with a tougher 2024 schedule than the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh needs to get out to a fast start before the difficulty amps up in the second half of the season. The league backloaded the Steelers schedule so heavily, they play all six of their AFC North games in the final eight with the other two being against the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
Pittsburgh has finished with a .500 season or better in each of Mike Tomlin's 17 seasons as head coach but this will be his greatest challenge to date. The Steelers completely rebuilt the quarterback depth chart by adding Russell Wilson and Justin Fields and added two new starters on the offensive line via the 2024 NFL draft.
