Every year around a half dozen new teams make the playoffs in the NFL that missed the year before. Touchdown Wire projected five teams to get into the playoffs in 2023 after missing out in 2022 and the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t make the cut.
Here are the five teams they believe have a shot:
New York Jets
Carolina Panthers
Detroit Lions
Indianapolis Colts
Cleveland Browns
Pittsburgh finished the 2022 season at 9-8 despite a rookie quarterback. The Steelers also nearly snuck into the playoffs after a surge after the bye week. Pittsburgh has added multiple new starters to the roster this offseason via free agency and the draft in hopes of finding their way back into the playoffs. If you are looking for a sleeper team to surprise this year, Pittsburgh is a great bet. We would certainly take them over the underachieving Cleveland Browns at this point as well as the Indianapolis Colts who are starting a rookie quarterback.
