Tomlin’s ‘Most Unstable Concoction But’: Steelers Ranked twelfth ‘Most Entertaining’ Crew Of 2025

Not solely have the Pittsburgh Steelers been mediocre for a handful of seasons now, however their fashion of play has been quite boring. They failed to attain 20 factors in 9 of their 17 video games and solely eclipsed the 30-point mark in three video games. And that was thought-about a marginal enhance from the Matt Canada years of virtually by no means reaching 30 factors. Whereas the overall philosophies are to stay the identical in 2025, among the key gamers working the system are a lot completely different and may spice issues up. Whether or not or not the staff is sweet stays to be seen, however I’m fairly certain it’ll be entertaining.

USA In the present day’s Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz put collectively a rating of probably the most entertaining groups of the 2025 season and has the Steelers at No. 12.

“There’s one thing unquestionably delectable in seeing how grasp chemist Mike Tomlin will deal with his most risky concoction but, with the four-time NFL MVP [Aaron Rodgers] making for a wierd match at quarterback alongside fellow marquee offseason addition DK Metcalf in Arthur Smith’s usually inflexible offense,” he wrote. “One thing finally has to present, and swarms of individuals can be ready to see what it will likely be.”

Aaron Rodgers and Arthur Smith appear to be off to a very good begin of their relationship, however will it stand the check of time? Russell Wilson and Smith didn’t reportedly jell very nicely within the assembly room. Regardless, Rodgers will give the Steelers one other dimension to their passing assault that has been lacking for seven or eight years. Passing to the center of the sphere brings threat, but it surely’s one thing the staff wants to remain balanced.

Rodgers was among the many most frequent passers final season whereas the Steelers have been among the many most frequent runners. That’s both an ideal marriage to steadiness one another out, or a whole catastrophe ready to occur.

Whereas the QB place is the primary ingredient of this “most risky concoction”, the Steelers have truly performed some work to root out different risky components of their locker room in recent times. George Pickens is the newest instance of addition by subtraction with quite a lot of final 12 months’s drama now off the roster. That stated, the staff traded for and paid huge cash to DK Metcalf, who is called an emotional participant in his personal proper.

If the Steelers don’t discover a viable WR2 answer reverse Metcalf, he might need to cope with extra consideration than he’s used to. Might that result in some rigidity on the sideline throughout video games?

For the first time in staff historical past not one of the staff’s leaders in passing, speeding or receiving from the earlier season are on the roster. If nothing else, that shakeup from the usually secure Steelers franchise ought to make for an entertaining season.
