New-Look Steelers Improve Slightly in Latest Record Predictions

While the defensive side of the ball for the Pittsburgh Steelers more or less looks similar to what it did last season, the offensive side will have a lot of new faces at key positions.

And many think that will lead to an improved record in 2025 for the AFC North team.

In a recent article by NFL Spin Zone's Sayre Bedinger, he predicts the record of every AFC North when the end of the 2025 season rolls around. And for the Steelers, he thinks that they are going to make a slight improvement now that they have Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.

"Given the fact that this team seems to be guaranteed to win nine games regardless of what happens at quarterback, I think the floor for this Steelers team is nine wins and the ceiling is probably somewhere around 11," Bedinger wrote. "Rodgers played better last season than most people realize, especially as the season went along, and he's got one of the league's best receivers to throw to in DK Metcalf."

There was so much buzz around whether or not Rodgers would sign with the team through the early stages of the offseason. But now that he has, it is time to get to work and prove why he is one of the best to ever do it.

As for Metcalf, some have called him overrated at times due to his inconsistency. But with the combination of size and athleticism that he possesses, it is hard to dispute that he is a scary wide receiver for a cornerback to line up across from.

The Steelers have made the playoffs each of the last two seasons, so the team's new-look roster will be looking to keep that trend going and make it back to the postseason.
