The Pittsburgh Steelers were founded in 1933 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where they remain headquartered and play home games at Acrisure Stadium. The franchise is owned by Art Rooney II, with Omar Khan serving as general manager and Mike McCarthy as head coach. Known variously as the Steel Curtain, Black and Gold, Blitzburgh, and the Rooneymen, the club maintains a roster featuring T.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward, Pat Freiermuth, Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey, and Patrick Queen among its notable players. The Steelers have been a consistent playoff presence over the past decade and a half. Their 2010 campaign ended in a Super Bowl appearance following a 12–4 regular season. From 2015 through 2017, the team posted three consecutive playoff berths, culminating in a 13–3 record. After a brief dip, Pittsburgh returned to the postseason in 2020 at 12–4 and has qualified in four of the last five seasons through 2025, each time finishing 10–7 or better.
