Steelers’ 7th Super Bowl just gets further and further away

The L.A. Rams just showed what it takes to go all in for a Super Bowl. The Rams are a peaking team full of offensive weapons and a dominate defense in its prime. The missing ingredient? A quarterback capable of taking them there. Sound familiar? Well, that’s where the similarities end, Steelers fans. As Pittsburgh debates the proper end of the Ben Roethlisberger era, the Rams did whatever it took to get Matt Stafford to take them to the pigskin promised land. The Rams broke the bank, dealing two future first round picks and more, all to unload their own first-round young gun, Jared Goff, whom they had just showered with a big new contract. But 2020 made clear, Goff couldn’t live up to the deal on the football field, so the Rams cut their losses, going all-in on Stafford. It is Super Bowl or bust for the Rams. For the Steelers, however, it’s just bust. Steelers Nation could be staring at a decade of lowered expectations for the Pittsburgh franchise once at the pinnacle of the sport. The proud Pittsburgh battle cry, “Here we go, Steelers!” has turned into, “Where did you go, Steelers?” Hear all the reasons why in the latest edition of the Steelers Update Podcast.    See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
