Pittsburgh Steelers 1998 Season Schedule & Scores

After starting the season with a 5-4 record through their first nine games and holding a narrow 2-point lead over New England with less than nine minutes left on the clock, Pittsburgh gave up a 25-yard touchdown pass and a game-winning field goal, ultimately falling 23-20 and ending the season with a losing record. The Steelers were plagued by key injuries on both offense and defense, most notably with quarterback Kordell Stewart missing nearly half the season. Compounding their woes, the loss of Jerome Bettis for the final five games struck a decisive blow to their struggling campaign.
