The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a challenging 2024 NFL season with uncertainty surrounding their quarterback situation as they evaluate Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Despite a strong roster, the Steelers are not perceived as Super Bowl contenders and are expected to struggle against tougher division rivals like the Ravens and Bengals. A potential trade for 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is reportedly off the table, as he is expected to sign an extension with San Francisco, diminishing Pittsburgh's offensive options. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs enter the season as favorites for Super Bowl 59, aiming for a historic three-peat led by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The Cincinnati Bengals, led by Joe Burrow, are also considered strong contenders, with expectations for a high-powered offense if Burrow remains healthy. As the season approaches, the Steelers' playoff aspirations depend significantly on their quarterback performance and overall team cohesion.
