4. Pittsburgh Steelers

Ben Roelthlisberger was recently signed to a five-year extension, setting the Steelers up for years of more success. The Steelers have arguably the best running back-wide receiver tandem in Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell.

The duo was nothing short of amazing in 2014. Keeping them together is a must for the Steelers organization.With the emergence of the promising Martavis Bryant to play opposite Brown, the Steelers offense is becoming fearsome. Big Ben has more than enough left in the tank to make a couple of more Super Bowl runs.

What holds the Steelers back is their defense. It needs work in more than one spot, particularly their secondary. It’s horrible to see a team who prides themselves on defense be so bad at it. The defense needs some youth in the worst way possible.

If they are to take down some of the big boys in the AFC, they to fix their pass rush and secondary first. Their defense won’t hold up against some of the better teams.
