The Pittsburgh Steelers have won six Super Bowls so far, in 1975, 1976, 1979, 1980, 2006, and 2009. If they assemble the former Green Bay Packers squad in Pittsburgh, they could win it again in 2027. Aaron Rodgers could secure another Super Bowl victory if he keeps reuniting with his Packers teammates in Pittsburgh.
Recent Efforts to Reach the Playoffs
For the past few years, the Pittsburgh Steelers have tried everything to even enter the playoffs. They signed Super Bowl-winning Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in 2024, who is now retired. Then, in 2025, they brought in another Super Bowl-hungry veteran signal-caller, Aaron Rodgers, who led them to the 2025 AFC North division title. However, they lost their longtime head coach, Mike Tomlin.
New Weapons and a Familiar Coach
For the 2026 season, the Steelers acquired new weapons and retained Aaron Rodgers. They also hired a head coach who missed a season, Mike McCarthy. McCarthy knows Aaron Rodgers well from their long tenure together with the Green Bay Packers. Both won a Super Bowl in Green Bay. But this former team reunion does not stop there; it involves a third party in the form of veteran tight end Robert Tonyan.
According to The Big Lead’s Derek Antoine, Pittsburgh recently hosted Robert Tonyan for a tryout during mandatory minicamp. This could open the door for a potential reunion of the Green Bay Packers squad, though not all of them have won a Super Bowl together—only the quarterback and the coach have. Tonyan joined the Packers in December 2017, McCarthy left in December 2018, and Rodgers departed in April 2023. However, all three spent some time together, giving them confidence for the upcoming quest. This could be the last battle for the 42-year-old signal caller Aaron Rodgers, as he has stated that this is his final season.
Odds of Winning Super Bowl 2027
So, what are the odds of the Pittsburgh Steelers winning the 2027 Super Bowl? According to BVM Sports, the Steelers have a 1.2 percent chance of winning the Super Bowl and a 38.5 percent chance of making the playoffs. They could be the third-best team in the AFC North, which is disappointing considering they won the division title just last year. According to BetMGM, as of June 1, Pittsburgh ranks 23rd out of 32 teams in NFL Power Rankings by Super Bowl 2027 Odds. The top spot is held by the Los Angeles Rams, thanks to their recent acquisition of NFL DPOY 2025 Myles Garrett. According to FOX Sports’ 2026-2027 Super Bowl Odds, the Super Bowl LXI winner could again be the Los Angeles Rams, with the Pittsburgh Steelers ranked 22nd out of 32 teams—a far-fetched dream for Aaron Rodgers and company.
Hope for the Playoffs
ESPN’s Football Power Index also ranks Pittsburgh 22nd out of 32 teams. But there could be some hope, as rightly pointed out by Steelers Depot’s Josh Carney. This time last year, the Steelers had a 38 percent chance of making the playoffs and a 1.6 percent chance of winning the Super Bowl under Mike Tomlin’s reign. Now, with new head coach Mike McCarthy, new defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, and several interesting signings like wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and Rico Dowdle, as well as drafting offensive linemen Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker in the 2026 NFL Draft, and shifting Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick to the left side, a Super Bowl could seem possible. Last year, their postseason run ended after they were defeated by the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round. This time, with a fresh squad and a probable Green Bay reunion, under the pressure of Aaron Rodgers’ last season, maybe they will overcome the playoff hump.
