In a surprising twist for one of the NFL’s most storied franchises, the Pittsburgh Steelers have landed near the bottom of the latest Fox Sports NFL power rankings. The update, released earlier this week, placed the Steelers among the bottom five teams in the league, raising eyebrows and concerns among fans and analysts alike.
The ranking reflects growing skepticism about Pittsburgh’s roster and overall direction heading into the upcoming season. Key issues cited include instability at the quarterback position, an underperforming offensive line, and a lack of consistency on offense. While the defense, led by T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick, remains solid, it’s clear that the team’s inability to generate points has overshadowed its defensive strengths.
Head coach Mike Tomlin, who has never had a losing season, now faces one of his toughest challenges yet. The team’s off-season moves, including draft selections and free agency pickups, have yet to inspire confidence in national pundits.
Fans are hoping this low ranking serves as motivation for a turnaround. The Steelers have defied expectations before, but if the early projections are any indication, 2025 may be a long road back to playoff relevance.
