Well guys the Steelers didn't repeat, they didn't even make the playoffs.
However, to be fair they did lose their best defensive player early in the season, Troy Polamalo, who very well could be the best defensive player in the league and is certainly one of the best.
They also lost Aaron Smith another very strong defensive player.
Once Polamalo went out the Steelers lost a number of close games in which they led and lost when they failed to stop their opponents on the very last drive of the game.
The Seelers also didn't lose the turnover battle with Polamalo in the line-up but lost it more than they won it with him out.
Not sure they could of won the SB this season even if the players had stayed healthy but would have been nice to see them try. I quess we'll never know.
With the Steelers failing to repeat this means we're definatly due for a repeat winner according to the info posted above.
It's been 5 seasons now since a repeat winner and that's the 2cd longest in the SB era.
When you take into consideration teams who won a SB then returned to the SB but lost the next season, then 5 seasons is the longest stretch of time between back -to back SB teams.
Which means the team which wins the SB this season would have to at least return to the SB next season or it will be the longest stretch of time between such teams in the 44 years of the SB era.
