Pittsburgh is one of the smallest markets in the NFL.
If you actually if you look at market size in the NFL the teams from the biggest cities suck more consistently. The top ten largest metropolitan areas in the NFL are the homes of the Bears, Jets, Giants, Chargers, Rams, Cowboys, Redskins, Eagles, Dolphins, and Falcons. Meanwhile Seattles is 15th (in the nation, not the NFL), Denver is 19th, Baltimore is 21st, Pittsburgh is 26th, and Green Bay is not even in the top 100.
