The 2024 season is the Pittsburgh Steelers' 92nd season in the National Football League (NFL), their third under general manager Omar Khan and their 18th under head coach Mike Tomlin. After reaching their 10th win in Week 14, they matched their 10–7 record from last year. Despite losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15, the Steelers made the playofs for the second consecutive season after losses by the Indianapolis Colts and the Miami Dolphins that same day.[1] They will also look to end their 4-year AFC North title drought.

Following their win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2, the Steelers started 2–0 for the first time since 2020, while allowing their fewest points (16) over their first two games since 2007. The team meanwhile scored its fewest points (31) in a 2–0 start since 1936. In earning another win in Week 3 over the Los Angeles Chargers and moving to 3–0, the Steelers held each of their first three opponents to 10 points or fewer for the first time since 1973. Following a Week 13 victory against the division rival Cincinnati Bengals, the Steelers clinched their 21st consecutive non-losing season, tying the NFL record set by the Dallas Cowboys from 1965–85.
