The Pittsburgh Steelers faced a harsh reality following their 28-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in a wild-card game, marking their fourth defeat in this round in five years. With an offseason looming, the Steelers need to reassess their roster and coaching staff, particularly focusing on head coach Mike Tomlin, who has been with the team for 17 years but has not secured a playoff victory since 2016.
General manager Omar Khan is urged to consider significant changes. While Tomlin has a history of winning, the Steelers are now at a crossroads with their roster, which may require a rebuild. Trading Tomlin could yield significant value, similar to recent coach trades in the league. Teams like the Chicago Bears and New York Jets could be potential suitors for Tomlin's leadership.
