Road opponents will be the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, along with rematches against Baltimore, Cincinnati and Cleveland.
The Pittsburgh Steelers 2009 season consisted of nine wins and seven losses, placing them third in the AFC North. Their wins and losses came in chunks as they lost two games, won the next five, then dropped the next five before finishing the season with three wins. Notable losses came to lower-ranked teams such as the Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders, while the Steelers also defeated the higher-ranked teams of the San Diego Chargers, Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos. Despite having the top players of Ben Roethlisberger, Willie Parker and Santonio Holmes, the 2008 Super Bowl champions failed to qualify for the 2009 NFL Playoffs.http://www.steelers.com/schedule-and-events/season-schedule.html5 Despite the early exit from the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers remain the winningest team in the National Football League with six Super Bowl trophies to their name.
