And would you consider it an upset or a surprise if the Pittsburgh Steelers made it to the Super Bowl?

Yeah, I always feel that even when they're on top they are still the underdog, but you know what, that's how we like our black and gold. We are loyal fans and all the doubters in the world manage to get surprised all of the time by the greatness which is The Pittsburgh Steelers.
Look at the payroll we have compared to the "powerhouse" teams, this is an amazing, family run organization.

The Steelers are DEFINITELY the most underrated team in the AFC.
This is a team that's already beaten the Colts during the playoffs, in their own stadium.
And the last time the Patriots started the season with a long unbeaten streak, the Steelers ended it.
The Steelers can and will upset one of these teams in the AFC playoffs. Bank on it.

No. Most people who follow football recognize that after the Pats and Colts there are a few other solid teams like the Chargers and Steelers. The most underrated team in the AFC would be someone more like Cleveland, Jacksonville, or Tennessee.

I would say no because they are praised highly by a lot of the press, they have a contingency of athletes every year despite of free agency and yet are usually at the top, and there respected by most teams as probably the team to beat this year in their division. However , I would be surprized and it would be an upset for the Steelers to get to the Super bowl but stranger things have happened.

As a Steelers fan, I don't think they are underrated, in fact I think they are a bit overrated. You can't lose to a team like Arizona, and let a team like Denver drive on you late in a game like that. With the Colts and Pats playing like they are, it would definately be a shock if they went to the big show. GO STEELERS!

No where near underrated... every game you listen to, the announcers have a crush on Roethlisberger. Did you watch the Bengals/Steelers game this weekend? It was all about the Steelers and how wonderful they are, and how great they looked, and how they came up with the cure for AIDS. If the Bengals were winning by 21 or if they were losing by 3, it was all about the Steelers...

They might make the superbowl, but I don't think they are underrated. They are listed a one of the better teams in the AFC, but not as good as the Pats or the Colts, which is exactly what they are. They could win the whole thing, but at this point, they haven't shown they are better than the Colts or the Pats.

well I have to say since they are in the divisions with the colts and pats, the attention does get taking away from them easily. I thought they were underrated going into the super bowl. Now, they are pretty good and will back it to the playoffs obviously.

no, the steelers are not the most underrated team. the colts are they dont get the repsect they deserve even though they are the best team in the NFL. Hopefully people will recognize the colts greatness after they beat the patriots on sunday.

No,the Titans and Jaguars are...bet you didn't even know they were both 5-2 just like the steelers, but you don't hear about them as much as the steelers...
