Despite consistently reaching the playoffs, the Steelers have struggled to make a deep playoff push and have not won a playoff game since 2016.
Rooney emphasized that everyone, including himself, head coach Mike Tomlin, and key players like TJ Watt and Cam Heyward, shares a sense of urgency to see the team achieve more success. The owner stated that it’s time for the team to secure wins and take the necessary steps forward.
Acknowledging the frustrations surrounding the team’s playoff performance, Rooney highlighted the determination and resolve within the organization to see significant improvement. The owner and the entire Steelers organization are eager to witness the team’s progress and return to championship contention.
As the Steelers approach the 2025 season, there is a collective commitment to reevaluate strategies, rotations, and all aspects of the team to enhance their playoff performance and strive for a deeper postseason run. The focus on improvement and a winning mentality underscores the expectations and aspirations for the upcoming campaign.
