Social media detectives believe they’ve uncovered evidence that the Pittsburgh Steelers are bound to play in Super Bowl 59 come Feb. 11.
Mike Tomlin’s Steelers have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2024 NFL season, winning seven of their first nine games. The team has gone 3-0 with Russell Wilson, who missed the first six games recovering from a calf injury.
The 7-2 Steelers currently boast the third-best record in the AFC, behind only the 9-0 Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. And yet, it feels like Tomlin’s group is getting little attention compared to KC, Buffalo and Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens.
But could this be the year where the Steelers stun the world and make a return to the Super Bowl? If history repeats itself, they’ll be in the big dance for the first time in 14 seasons.
As noted by the good folks of The 33rd Team, the Steelers have reached the Super Bowl the last two seasons where they averaged at least 21 points per game while allowing under 17 PPG (2008 and 2010).
This season, they’re averaging 23.9 PPG and allowing just 16.2 PPG.

Make of that as you will, ladies and gentlemen.
The Pittsburgh Steelers played in four AFC Championship Games and three Super Bowls from 2004 to 2010, winning it all in the 2005 and ’08 campaigns. However, they’ve only reached the AFC title game once since 2011, and that was way-back-when in 2016.
This Is The Most Complete Pittsburgh Steelers Team In Years
The Steelers defense left a lot to be desired, especially in big games, over the 2014 to 2018 seasons. The D has been a top-tier unit since 2019, but the Steelers had been held back by lackluster quarterback over the next five seasons.
Finally, they’re moving the ball consistently with Wilson behind center. Throw in an elite defense and a dynamic set of playmakers, and this club undoubtedly has the ability to go all the way.
