Pittsburgh was absolutely loaded during the 2010s. Unfortunately for all that individual talent, Pittsburgh was never able to parlay it into a Super Bowl championship. The Steelers lost the Super Bowl in 2010 and despite making the playoffs six times in the decade, after that Super Bowl loss, the Steelers have gone winless in the playoffs in five more trips.
