Pittsburgh Steelers Rating – 84
As we mentioned in our overrated Madden NFL 16 teams list, the Pittsburgh Steelers are unjustly rated equally with the Baltimore Ravens, despite having one of the best offensive trios in the league:
The Steelers with a rating of 84 has a FRIGHTENING triple threat offense going with Ben Roethlisberger (who is off one of his best years in recent memory), La’Veon Bell (second last year in rushing) and Antonio Brown (first in yards, first in receptions, second in TDs last season).
Although the Steelers are normally known for their defense, they do NOT sleep on their offense this year. That trio might end up rivaling some of the best QB, RB, WR combos of all time. Defensively, the Steelers are moving on from the early 2000s. Gone is iconic Safety Troy Polomalu and defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau who led them through those excellent regular season and superbowl runs in the early 2000s. New DC Keith Butler in his first season and may be able to turn things around. So while the defensive players currently on the roster might be rated low thanks to a terrible year last year, don’t be surprised if over the course of the season those ratings slowly creep up and the Steelers’ overall rating also increases alongside with it.
