They’re tied with the Eagles for #1 in the luck index. That’s got something to do with it.

To be fair, success in the NFL always turns on a bit of luck. And the Browns aren’t far behind, at #6.

But the Steelers’ luck rating (2.0) is on a different tier than the Browns’ (0.8). You’d expect some regression there at some point.

Then again, the Steelers are often like Billy Zane in Titanic—they somehow make their own luck.
