Steelers may find success in 2024 playoffs despite losing streak

Although fans of the Black and Gold are preparing to hit the panic button on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff aspirations, there may still be hope for a postseason victory in 2024.

If the Steelers’ season were to end today, they would be the fifth seed in the AFC playoff picture and would face the fourth-seeded AFC South divisional leader, the Houston Texans.

While many are skeptical about the Mike Tomlin-led Steelers’ ability to win their first playoff game this season, the Texans could be the perfect matchup to make this dream a reality.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have all the pieces to make a deep playoff run, but one thing the team is missing is momentum. After losing three consecutive games in a 10-day span, the Steelers’ morale has hit an all-time low in 2024.

Call it wishful thinking, but a victory over the struggling 9-7 Houston Texans in the wildcard round of the playoffs could be the perfect opportunity for the Pittsburgh Steelers to regain their confidence and position themselves for the Super Bowl run fans once believed the team could achieve.
