| show_name = Days of Our Steelers Created by E. Schlasser, the series follows the adventures of the Pittsburgh Steelers as they attempt to make the playoffs, beat the New England Patriots, and win the Super Bowl. But the drama-filled Black and Gold Brigade must overcome themselves before they can get a chance to prove themselves and showcase their talent in February.

Plot summary

The 2018 NFL season is set to begin with questions remaining about the Steelers organization. Running back Le'Veon Bell has continued his contract holdout and has been replaced by James Conner for the time being. Quarterback and Captain Ben Roethlisberger remains a figurehead to the team and attempts to stop Antonio Brown's egotistical actions on the field by showing favor to an upcoming prospect JuJu Smith-Schuster. Mike Tomlin, head coach of the Steelers, sticks his head in the sand as he attempts to calm the public of the drama inside the locker room. The season appears to be going well at the end of Week 11 with the Steelers boasting a 7-2-1 record, despite drama and turmoil on the team. However, the team soon collapses due to its demons and loses four of their next six and are overtaken by the Baltimore Ravens, missing the playoffs. Brown requests a trade to escape the drama without realizing that he is the source of the dark power. Bell's contract holdouts ended with him being cut by the roster and fully replaced by Conner. With what appears to be the two most cancerous teammates leaving Pittsburgh for good, the brigade is left with questions on whether the window has closed on the Steelers or if they can strike back next season with a vengence.
