Pittsburgh Steelers history never to win a title. Who do you consider "Best of the Rest"?"BTSC looks back at the teams that Steeler Nation counts as the best and most memorable in franchise lore that failed to hoist the Lombardi. As we enter into March Madness Sutton Smith Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey , BTSC presents a “Not Sweet Enough 16” over the next month to crown the “Best of the Rest”. The last time around the immaculate, No. 4-seeded team from 1972 battled Bill Cowher’s first team, the 1992 Steelers. Here are the final tallies...1972 - Immaculately Sewing the Seeds of a Dynasty (11-3)- 77%1992 - Cowher Power is Born (11-5) - 23%This time around, the fifth-seeded 2010 team (12-4) that slipped on the stairway to seven does battle with the twelth-seeded 1997 team (11-5) that John Elway vanquished for his shot at glory. Be sure to vote for the best or most memorable team (your choice) below in the poll and share your thoughts in the comments section. Check back to BTSC Wednesday for the results.No. 5 Seed: 2010 (12-4) Pittsburgh’s dynastic chances took a hit in 2009 after the Super Bowl victory in the 2008 campaign, but 2010 was supposed to be the chance to rectify that. It started off very unlikely in the offseason when Santonio Holmes, who was suspended for the first four weeks of the season because of substance abuse, freaked out on a plane and was subsequently traded to the New York Jets for a fifth rounder. Ben Roethlisberger received a six-game ban (later reduced to four) for an alleged sexual assault in Milledgeville, GA in which he was not charged. 2010 also saw the departures of RB Willie Parker, CB Deshea Townsend and S Tyrone Carter and the return of LB Larry Foote, CB Bryant McFadden and WR Antwaan Randle-El. The team’s biggest performances came courtesy of Ben, Mike Wallace (1,257 receiving yards/10 TDs), Rashard Mendenhall (1 Sutton Smith Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey ,273 rushing yards/13 TDs), James Harrison (NFL Defensive Player of the Year), LaMarr Woodley (10 sacks) and Troy Polamalu (7 INTs). The season began with Dennis Dixon behind center in a victory vs. Atlanta. It was won when Mendenhall galloped 50 yards in OT for a score. The next week saw Charlie Batch take over for Dixon in a win that saw Antonio Brown take the opening kick 89 yards for a score. After a 3-1 start, Ben returned in Week 5 and went 9-3 in the final three quarter of the campaign. The signature win came in Week 13 against the team that they battled neck-and-neck for the division all year, the Baltimore Ravens. No. 7, booted-up with a broken foot, suffered a gruesome nose break in the game. Trailing 10-6 late in the fourth, LaMarr Woodley and Troy Polamalu teamed up with a sack and recovery of Flacco. Roethlisberger found Isaac Redman for a nine-yard score and the win. In the playoffs, they came from behind 14 points vs. Baltimore to win 31-24. In the AFCCG, the Steelers bested Santonio Holmes and the Jets to reach the Super Bowl. In their eighth SB, Ben threw an ugly pick-six and Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson were one step ahead of the secondary and shot the Pack out to an 18-point lead in Q2. But the Steelers mounted a furious comeback and were driving for the lead late in the fourth. However, Rashard Mendenhall fumbled and (after a GB FG) a last minute comeback was suffocated by the Green Bay defense and the Steelers fell in their most-recent SB.Pro Bowlers: James Harrison Sutton Smith Jersey 2019 , Brett Keisel, Troy Polamalu and Maurkice PounceyFirst-Team All Pros: James Harrison and Troy PolamaluSecond-Team All Pros: Maurkice PounceyTeam MVP: Troy Polamalu No. 1 Draft Pick: Maurkice PounceyRookie of the Year: Maurkice PounceyNo. 12 Seed: 1997 (11-5)1997 saw Kordell Stewart finally seize the starting QB job for the Steelers and many viewed this season an uncertainty due to the loss in Free Agency of LB Chad Brown, CBs Rod Woodson and Deon Figures, WRs Ernie Mills and Andre Hastings and DL Brentson Buckner. This was also the season that the team changed their block-style numbers to the rounded digits to match the ones on the helmets. The team also re-established themselves as a running team with the NFL’s most attempts of the decade (572) and the third-most yards (2,479) of the 90s. Leading the team were Stewart, Jerome Bettis (1,665 yards and 9 TDs total), Yancey Thigpen (1,398 yards and 7 TDs), Levon Kirkland (5 sacks), Carnell Lake (3 INTs and 6 sacks), Darren Perry (4 INTs), Donell Wolford (4 INTs) and Norm Johnson (106 points). The season started off with an ugly 37-7 loss to Dallas at home and by Week 3...the team was 1-2. But they won 10 of 12 with multiple come-from-behind wins Cheap Sutton Smith Jersey , including a deficit of 21 against the Ravens in Week 6. The big wins of the season came against Denver (35-24) in Week 15 and an OT thriller in the snow against New England in Week 16. They would face both those teams at home in the playoffs. The Steelers beat NE 7-6 in the Divisional Round only to see Kordell throw three picks in a 24-21 loss to Denver in the AFCCG. Despite falling short with a Super Bowl ticket on the line, 1997 was a very entertaining year.Pro Bowlers: Jerome Bettis, Dermontti Dawson, Levon Kirkland, Carnell Lake, Joel Steed and Yancey ThigpenFirst-Team All Pros: Dermontti Dawson, Levon Kirkland and Carnell LakeSecond-Team All Pros: Jerome Bettis and Yancey ThigpenTeam MVP: Jerome BettisNo. 1 Draft Pick: Chad ScottRookie of the Year: Chad Scott PHOENIX (AP) — The Latest on the NFL owners meetings Tuesday (all times EDT):6:45 p.m.There’s nothing on the football field Jon Gruden likes more than a big-time playmaker.His Raiders’ trade with Pittsburgh brought to Oakland one of the game’s most dangerous scoring threats in wideout Antonio Brown.“You have to know where he is,” Gruden began. “He can help your running game. Put a safety over the top to double that guy, that helps you run the ball, I tell you. It helps the other guy on the other side. That’s why getting Tyrell Williams was huge. Somebody that can take advantage of some one-on-one looks.“It’s also nice to have a receiver who couldn’t care less what the coverage is. I remember Jerry Rice one year, he was so good. I used to see Jerry break the huddle and three (defensive) guys look for him: ‘There he is. Don’t let him catch the ball.’ Then at the end, Jerry had eight catches for 140 yards. He did it every week.“It is great to have a guy who can win. We have to do our part. It is a great responsibility for us to help Antonio Brown be one of the great Raiders of all time.”Gruden took a moment to catch his breath, then spoke about Brown’s skills at freelancing when a play breaks down. He believes that will provide a huge help to quarterback Derek Carr.“It’s huge. That’s where the great ones … that’s the true measuring stick of what makes a receiver great Jon Bostic Jersey ,” he said. “Because they are disguising coverage not just to fool the quarterback, they are disguising coverage to fool the wideout. Boom, they rotate to him. What are you going to do?“Some guys don’t see it and react as quick as others. The great ones, they see it and they can do it at full speed. It’s awesome. When you watch Antonio play, a lot of his production was on scramble plays.“Hopefully we can get Derek to create more on his own, maybe a little better protection, maybe he can buy a little more time and let Antonio go over there, then go over there, then go over there and make a play or two.”
