Travis revealed to the media that he even considered that possibility.
“They were talking about firing him, what, seven weeks ago?” Jason asked his brother.
“The media is really stupid,” Travis replied. “Why are we doing media? A bunch of jackasses, it's just a bunch of jackasses. We're just talking nonsense here.

However, the 2023 season was a turbulent one for Pittsburgh, with offensive coordinator Matt Canada being fired midway through the season, and the team struggled in that area.
Despite this, the Steelers were able to emerge victorious in the tough AFC North this season. They have a chance to make the playoffs in a variety of ways, most of which come by defeating the AFC's top-seeded Ravens.
