What was your favorite Steelers game from the 2024 season?
On of the most recent episode of the Scho Bro Show podcast, we outlined our top five favorite games from the 2024 season. Even though things ended poorly for the Steelers, there were some enjoyable times during the last season, and looking back at some of these games really stirred up my Steelers fandom once again.
When it came to determining our lists, both Rich and I ended up with games topping our list in which we were in attendance. So without further due, here were our top five lists:
Rich:
5. Week 1 at Atlanta Falcons (18-10)
4. Week 7 vs. New York Jets (37-15)
3. Week 10 at Washington Commanders (28-27)
2. Week 13 at Cincinnati Bengals (44-38)
1. Week 14 vs. Cleveland Browns (27-13)
Dave:
5. Week 10 at Washington Commanders (28-27)
4. Week 7 vs. New York Jets (37-15)
3. Week 14 vs. Cleveland Browns (27-13)
2. Week 13 at Cincinnati Bengals (44-38)
1. Week 11 vs. Baltimore Ravens (18-16)
Believe it or not, it was actually difficult for me to narrow it down to five. I attended the Ravens game, so it was on the top of the list for me. Rich was there when the Steelers got paybacks on the Browns after dropping a game to them two weeks before. After that, we both had the high-scoring affair against the Bengals in Cincinnati. Squeaking the game out on the road against the Washington Commanders, a team that ultimately went to the NFC Championship Game, made both of our lists.
So what game was your favorite of the 2024 season for the Pittsburgh Steelers? What made you pick that one? Can you go as far as to give a top five? Make sure you leave your answers in the comments below.
I’d have to go:
5. Week 1 @ Atlanta – opening week is always fun. The fields throw to Pickens across the field when he ran left and threw right was exciting and gave me hope for Arthur smith
4. Week 2 @ Denver – going into this game I thought the defense was gonna throw a shut out. They didn’t fall too short. Darnell Washington td was fun
3. Week 13 @ cincy – winning in a shootout was a flashback. I’m gonna tear my labrum or throw out my back one day celebrating a T.J. watt strip sack.
2. Weeek 10 @ Washington – was planning on going to this game with my best friend who is a commanders fan for my birthday. Tickets were really expensive though so we just watched at home and went to the caps penguins game (go caps) instead that Friday night. Mike Williams td was a beauty.
1. Week 11 vs rat birds – I will never ever ever get tired of beating the ravens. Payton Wilson is a baller and Chris Boswell made a statement vs Tucker
Honorable mentions: Dallas loss and Cleveland loss, only because of the snow. Thanks for a great season SCN. Always look forward to the content. Loving the comment section! Here we go
Thanks for joining in! That’s a solid list.
When I look back on the 2024 regular season, the game which brought me the most joy was also the game I didn’t watch live.
The 20-10 win in Week 3 over the LA Chargers.
Both teams were undefeated, the Chargers were sporting the best running game, and best run defense, in the league heading into that game. The Steelers absolutely abused a banged up Justin Herbert, knocking him from the game, but that wasn’t the best part.
The best part was in the 4th quarter the Steelers did something they almost never do anymore. They ran it right down their throat when everyone in Acrisure Stadium knew they were going to run it.
They took their souls.
The score could have been more lopsided, but the Steelers took a knee in the waning minutes to ice out the game. I watched that game with my kids after a wedding, and it was a great watch!!
