The AFC North is arguably the hardest division within the NFL, and the Pittsburgh Steelers could be the odd crew out.
No less than, that’s how CBS Sports activities analyst Pete Prisco feels.
“Mike Tomlin is such a good coach that they’re going to be in games…But they’re the fourth team in the division…Russell Wilson as we know him isn’t the same guy…They’re the worst team in the division,” Prisco just lately mentioned on CBS Sports activities HQ.

Prisco additionally acknowledged that he thinks that Wilson has at all times been just a little bit overrated and that he was not the rationale why Seattle went to a number of Tremendous Bowls again within the day.
To be honest, whereas in Seattle for a decade, Wilson had seven seasons with a passer score of at the very least 100.0, six seasons with at the very least 30 complete touchdowns, and he guided the Seahawks to a successful document in yearly aside from his closing 12 months in 2021.
Now, issues have modified just a little bit with Wilson over the previous few years.
His play, outdoors of final season, has declined and he’s a methods away from his nine-time Professional Bowl self.
Nonetheless, whereas his play could have gone downhill only a bit, and though the AFC North could be robust, he’s a greater quarterback than each Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph.
Additionally, Pittsburgh has a loaded protection due to star edge-rusher T.J. Watt and Co.
With improved quarterback play and an amazing protection, together with an completed head coach in Mike Tomlin who has guided the crew to twenty consecutive successful seasons, the Steelers probably might be in actual playoff rivalry this season but once more.
