American Football Conference · AFC North
The Pittsburgh Steelers were founded in 1933 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where they remain headquartered and play home games at Acrisure Stadium. The franchise is owned by Art Rooney II, with Omar Khan serving as general manager and Mike McCarthy as head coach. Patrick Graham coordinates the defense. The Steelers have maintained consistent competitiveness over the past decade and a half. Their 2010 campaign (12–4) carried them to the Super Bowl, and they reached the playoffs again in 2015, 2016, and 2017—the latter a 13–3 season. After a brief dip, the club went 12–4 in 2020 and has made the postseason in four consecutive years from 2021 through 2025, posting 10–7 records in each of the last three. The 2026 season is underway at 1–0. The current roster features T.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward, Jalen Ramsey, Patrick Queen, Joey Porter Jr., and DK Metcalf among its notable names, with Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington at tight end and Drew Allar and Aaron Rodgers among the quarterbacks.
