PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney is optimistic about his team's future following a strong finish to the 2022 season. The Steelers won seven of their final nine games to end up at 9-8. Rooney praised the development of rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett and said the improvement the offense made over the second half of the season was the driving force in retaining offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Rooney also gave coach Mike Tomlin credit for the way he handled a young roster, saying he's "excited" about the steps Pittsburgh could take in 2023 and beyond.
