The pitch: The polar opposite of Washington, Pittsburgh has a long-standing winning culture and a highly-regarded head coach in Mike Tomlin, who has never had a single losing season since he took over in 2007. There are also some quality pieces on the roster, here. The Steelers have a solid young running back in Najee Harris and the game’s best pass rusher in T.J. Watt.
What’s missing? Most of the talent to be found here is on the defensive side of the ball and there’s just not many passing weapons for Wilson to work with. Last season, Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool led them in receiving yards – a big dropoff from some of the other 1-2 combos Wilson could play with, to say nothing of the one in Seattle. Pittsburgh is in a tough division and will have to compete with Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson over the next 10+ years, making its path to the playoffs difficult. Worst of all, their offensive line is ranked even lower than the Seahawks.
Seahawks still give Russell Wilson the best chance to win another Super Bowl
