4 best quarterbacks Steelers will face during 2024 NFL season

Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

Like Jackson, the Steelers also have to face off against Joe Burrow and the Bengals twice every year, which can prove to be a tall task. The Bengals selected Joe Burrow with the top pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and he has lived up to expectations thus far. Over his first four seasons, Burrow led the Bengals to a Super Bowl appearance, was named to a Pro Bowl and was also named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2021. His addition immediately catapulted Cincinnati into contender status.

The only knock against Burrow has been durability, as he's been limited to just 10 games in two of his four seasons. However, he projects to be healthy next season coming off of wrist surgery, so Pittsburgh's defense will have to try to figure out a way to limit his production when the two teams meet twice in 2024.

Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes is widely regarded as the NFL's best active quarterback. He's the reigning Super Bowl MVP after leading the Chiefs to their second consecutive Super Bowl victory in February, and it's fair to wonder if he's even hit his prime yet.

At 28 years old, Mahomes has already accomplished more than most quarterbacks could ever dream of. He's won three Super Bowls, three Super Bowl MVPs, two NFL MVPs, and he's been named to numerous All-Pro and Pro Bowl teams. He's also led the league in passing touchdowns twice and passing yards once. He's the complete package at the quarterback position, and the Steelers will get the opportunity to face off against him during the 2024 season.
