BREAKING: “Fascinating” Free Agent Healthy, Cleared to Sign With Contender

5. Pittsburgh Steelers

While he isn’t playing at his previous MVP level, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has given the Pittsburgh Steelers their best offense since the Ben Roethlisberger days. Thanks to his ability to move the ball downfield, the team is 5-3 and boasts a two-game lead in the division. Unfortunately, this improved offense seemingly came at the expense of the defense, as the overall body of work leaves a lot to be desired.

The secondary isn’t the biggest weakness on the roster, but you can never have too many good cornerbacks, especially when the pass rush isn’t holding up its end of the bargain. Asante Samuel will probably be rusty, and having Jalen Ramsey and Joey Porter on the roster means the former Charger can ease his way back into action and reach full speed for the playoffs.
