The Pittsburgh Steelers are an American Football team in the National Football League in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. They have won six Super Bowls (8 appearances). That is the most any team has ever won. They are rivals with the Baltimore Ravens mostly. Pittsburgh plays in the AFC North, with Baltimore, the Cincinnati Bengals, and Cleveland Browns.
The Steelers have also gained fame for their great defense. In the 1970s, the "Steel Curtain" led by the likes of "Mean" Joe Green and Jack Lambert helped the Steelers to four Super Bowl wins. In the 2000s, the dominating defense reappered, with players like game-changing defensive back Troy Polamalu leading the way.
