The 2022 season was the Pittsburgh Steelers' 90th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 16th under head coach Mike Tomlin.
This was their first season since 2003 without long-time quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on the roster, as he announced his retirement on January 27, 2022.[1] It was also the first season since 1999 without long-time general manager Kevin Colbert, as he announced on January 28, 2022 that after 22 years with the organization, he would step down following the 2022 NFL draft.[2] He was succeeded by Omar Khan as general manager and Andy Weidl as assistant general manager on May 25, 2022.[3]
The Steelers began their season with a 2–6 record, their worst start since 2013, and failed to improve on their 9–7–1 record from 2021. Despite the initial setback, the Steelers would have a mid-season turnaround and stay in the playoff hunt through Week 18 and finished with a 9–8 record. However, they narrowly missed the playoffs—the Steelers tied with the Miami Dolphins for the last Wild Card spot, but lost the tiebreaker based on the teams' Week 7 head-to-head meeting, won by the Dolphins. They maintained their streak of 19 consecutive non-losing seasons.
In an oddity, the 2022 Steelers played all 17 of their games in the Eastern time zone.[4] The Steelers also traveled by far the fewest miles (6512 miles) of any team in the league in 2022.[5]
