PITTSBURGH STEELERS (11-7)

Last year: The NFL’s third-ranked offense — led by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown — led the Steelers to a second straight playoff berth. Pittsburgh actually led eventual Super Bowl champion Denver on the road in the fourth quarter of the division round before a fumble by Fitzgerald Toussaint — filling in for injured Le’Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams — gave the Broncos a chance for a late comeback. A young defense gave up plenty of yards but also created 30 turnovers, third highest in league.

Important additions: TE Ladarius Green, LT Ryan Harris, CB Artie Burns, S Sean Davis.

Important losses: TE Heath Miller, LT Kelvin Beachum, CB Cortez Allen, K Shaun Suisham, WR Martavis Bryant (suspended), QB Michael Vick, S Will Allen

Camp needs: Settle the secondary and figure out who will protect Roethlisberger’s blind side. Bell’s health coming off his second season-ending knee injury will be the focus during camp.

Expectations: A seventh Super Bowl ring. Steelers were one of the top teams in the AFC before injuries to Brown and Williams slowed them in the playoffs. While they lost ever-reliable Miller to retirement and talented but troubled Bryant to a yearlong suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, they splurged in free agency to bring Green over from San Diego. There are plenty of questions on defense, most notably in the backfield, where first-round pick Burns and second-round pick Davis will be given every opportunity to play immediately. Considering the offensive firepower, the defense might have time to figure things out.
