Pittsburgh Steelers Season Preview
The Pittsburgh Steelers ended the season with a heart-breaking loss to the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl. After falling behind 21-3 in the 1st half, Ben Roethlisberger closed the gap to 25-28, but the Steelers ran out of time and lost 25-31.

Pittsburgh had a strong 2010 regular season winning 12 games and losing 4. Pittsburgh finished strong after Big Ben found his rhythm following a 4 game suspension. The Steelers won six of their final seven regular season games before cutting through the AFC elite in the playoffs.
 
This season, the Steelers are projected to reach an 11-5 mark and edge out the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC North title. They have a 53 percent probability of winning the division and an 87 percent probability of returning to the post season.
 
After returning from suspension, Big Ben put together an incredibly efficient season. The 6-5, 241lb quarterback threw for 3,200 yards with 17 passing TDs and only 5 INTs. Big Ben also managed to rush for 176 yards on 34 carries (Avg of 5.2 yds/carry) with 2 rushing TDs. If he can put up those numbers for a full 16-game season, Big Ben should be favorite for MVP.
 
Projected Record: 11-5
Projected Division Finish: 1st
Probability of Winning Division: 53%
Probability of Making Playoffs: 87%
