The Pittsburgh Steelers 2025 season goals start with winning the division, but we know the AFC
00:05
North can be one of the toughest in all of the National Football League. Today, we're going to
00:10
break down the other three teams that the Steelers will have to get through to reach their goals.
00:17
It all starts with the Baltimore Ravens. Obviously, this is a team who's looking to get over a hump of
00:23
not the Pittsburgh Steelers, but winning a Super Bowl. They have Lamar Jackson. They returned
00:28
Derrick Henry. They just signed Jair Alexander. They made some great moves in the NFL draft.
00:34
The Steelers and Ravens rivalry will be a great one again this year. Obviously, Pittsburgh got
00:40
absolutely ran through in the playoffs against the Ravens last season. They ran for almost 300
00:47
rushing yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers, they took that personally. They went
00:52
into the NFL draft, and they drafted a ton of big defenders to stop that from happening. Derrick
00:58
Harmon, Yaya Black, Jack Sawyer, you name it, they believe that they are going to be a better run
01:04
stuffing team, and that is primarily because of the Baltimore Ravens. Then, you have the Cincinnati
01:10
Bengals. Obviously, they locked up both Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins this offseason. Who knows who's
01:16
going to play defense for the Bengals? And for the Steelers, that should be a shootout of a game,
01:20
given the fact that they haven't signed Trey Hendrickson as of this recording, and they haven't
01:25
signed their rookie, Shamar Stewart, but they have Joe Burrow. They have two of the best wide receivers
01:30
in the league. They have a solid offensive line. They are going to be a significant factor, not only
01:35
in the AFC North, but in the entire AFC if they can overcome their slow starts and obviously injuries
01:43
to Joe Burrow and the core of their offense. After that, the Browns, and I hate to say it,
01:49
but the Browns are the Browns. I'm not sure that the Cleveland Browns even know who they are going
01:53
to be starting at quarterback. You have Dylan Gabriel, you have Joe Flacco, you have Kenny
01:58
Pickett, you have Shadur Sanders. Who the heck is going to be the starting quarterback come week one?
02:02
Your guess is as good as mine. The roster is just not in a great place right now. Obviously,
02:06
they traded out of the second overall pick to take Mason Graham. The team, on paper, is young,
02:12
unproven, and there are major questions looming at the quarterback position, so I doubt that they
02:17
will be a thorn in the side of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but that is the state of the division.
02:22
The Steelers, obviously we know they have completely redone their offense. No George Pickens. Every
02:28
quarterback that they had last season is gone. Broderick Jones moves to left tackle, likely to be a
02:33
new starting running back, and then they have a defense that they believe is a Super Bowl caliber,
02:39
Super Bowl winning kind of defense. So that is the state of the AFC North. Those are the teams
02:45
that the Pittsburgh Steelers will have to go through if they want to reach their goals.
