Sadly, the Steelers season came to an end yesterday. It ended a whole lot better than what we thought after a 2-6 start, to a 9-8 record and a chance at the playoffs. And to cap it all off with four game win streak.
Even though the season ended yesterday, it’s never too early to start looking at next season. The 2023 season the Steelers have nine home games and eight away games.
