The Pittsburgh Steelers ended last season in the most painful way possible, in a walk-off playoff overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. They begin this season expecting to get further in the playoffs, though they'll be doing it without a very familiar face. For the first time in a very long time, the Steelers will not be playing with Hines Ward, who has retired.
