No More Football Weekend: Steelers Friday Night Five Questions

Happy Friday, and I hope yinz are doing well.

The 2023 NFL season is over. Things concluded Sunday with Super Bowl LVIII, the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22. A thrilling win and only the game’s second overtime finish, coming down to the literal last play of the first overtime session. With the win, the 49ers failed to match the Steelers with six Super Bowls while the Chiefs have won back-to-back championships. Now a dynasty, they’ll look to become the first three-peat champs in NFL history.

The Steelers quickly got started on their offseason. Monday, they announced the release of QB Mitch Trubisky, OT Chukwuma Okorafor, and P Pressley Harvin III. None of the three were expected to be part of the 2024 Week One roster but the Steelers wasted no time in beginning to clean house.

Should any other moves occur over the weekend, we’ll have them covered.

A reminder that the contest portion of our Friday Five is over. These questions are now just for fun. Congrats to our winner and thanks to everyone who participated.

Peace and love, peace and love!

3 – On a scale of 1-10, 10 being most likely, how likely are the Chiefs to win three-peat next season?

5 – Do you agree with former Steelers GM Kevin Colbert that the NFL overuses analytics?

Question 4: The majority (nine) of respondents stated they were happier for Cam Heyward winning the Walter Man of the Year Award than angry about T.J. Watt not winning DPOY. However, 12 folks were either angrier (seven) or at least evenly happy and angry (five) about the results.
