AFC Wild Card Playoffs - Pittsburgh Steelers v Buffalo Bills
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been on the rise ever since Omar Khan took over as General Manager, but the only thing they can't seem to fix is the most important one: the quarterback position. With Russell Wilson signing in free agency, they hope a veteran player can lead them to the AFC North race.

Pittsburgh Steelers 2024 Season Outlook
It's amazing to look at how Pittsburgh is building its team. They have found talent in almost all places around the roster, improving their offense, and defense, and even without consistent quarterback play, they always managed to steal some wins inside the AFC North.
The biggest problem, of course, is that you can't win in the modern NFL without a consistent quarterback. Kenny Pickett just wasn't the answer in the end, and the team has already shipped him to Philadelphia. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields perhaps aren't superstars in 2024, but at least they should provide an upgrade – with Wilson set to be the starter for next season.

In a division that has the Baltimore Ravens, the No. 1 overall seed in the conference during 2023, plus the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns with Joe Burrow and Deshaun Watson returning, respectively, Pittsburgh was always going to have a tough time winning, even if they had a great quarterback under center.
The key, once again, will be to steal games against their AFC North foes while they take care of other games that are supposed to be easier, but when you don't have an above-average quarterback on the roster, every game gets tougher in this league. The expectation is that Russell Wilson will at least avoid turnovers and be a good game-manager, with postseason qualification the minimum expectation.

Henrique Bulio
Henrique Bulio is an NFL and College Football journalist at Sportskeeda and the Editor-in-Chief of Pro Football Brasil. He has a total 13 years of experience working in American Football, and playing quarterback at an amateur level in Brazil has given him a unique perspective of the game.
Henrique follows the Philadelphia Eagles closely due to Michael Vick's historic performance on MNF against the Washington Commanders in 2010. His all-time favorite player is Ed Reed; he believes that Reed is the greatest safety to ever play the game. Bill Belichick gets the nod as Henrique's favorite coach for coaching the Patriots to glory over two decades.
If Henrique were to be able to go back in time and watch one game, it would be Super Bowl XLIX, where the Patriots and the Seahawks played a complete, back-and-forth game that concluded with one of the biggest talking points in NFL history.
Technical deep dives are Henrique’s specialty, and he ensures never to use misleading words in his articles, since he himself consumes a lot of information off the web. He has had the privilege of interviewing Cairo Santos, Lamar Jackson, Jim Harbaugh, Sean McDermott, Bruce Arians, Matt LaFleur, among others.
Aside from football, Henrique likes to play poker and Counter-Strike.
