1993 record: 9-7, second in division.
Playoffs: Lost to Kansas City 27-24 in wild-card game.
Coach: Bill Cowher, third year.
Record with team: 20-12.
Top players: QB Neil O’Donnell, RB Barry Foster, TE Eric Green, C Dermontti Dawson, LB Kevin Greene, LB Greg Lloyd, CB Rod Woodson.
Top newcomers: DL Ray Seals (Tampa Bay), RB John L. Williams (Seattle), CB Kirby Jackson (Buffalo), WR Charles Johnson (Colorado), RB Byron “Bam” Morris (draft, Texas Tech).
Key stat: With Foster, Pittsburgh averaged 23.9 points a game. Without Foster, average was 13.3.
Extra points: Steelers could have good offense. Three glaring weaknesses are defensive line, wide receiver, special teams. Cowher replaced coaches responsible for those areas. If Steelers put aside clubhouse bickering, they should win at least 10.
