The2002 season was thePittsburgh Steelers' 70th as a professional sports franchise and as a member of theNational Football League.

The Steelers were coming off a 13–3 record in 2001 and making an appearance in the AFC Championship game. The team failed to improve their 13–3 record, finishing 10–5–1, although this record was good enough for a division championship. With their finish, the Steelers became the first champions of the newly createdAFC North. Bill Cowher's team won the Wild Card Game, defeating therivalCleveland Browns at home, but lost toAFC South championTennessee Titans in the divisional round.

Week 4 sawKordell Stewart's final game as the Steelers' starting quarterback, as he was replaced byTommy Maddox during the game. Even though he did relieve an injured Maddox, Stewart never regained his job as he was released following the season.

Kordell Stewart began the game, going 15–25 for 143 yards, but was intercepted byRobert Griffith of the Browns. At this point his Pittsburgh career all but ended when he was benched and replaced by backupTommy Maddox, who had resurrected his career with stints with theNew Jersey Red Dogs in theArena Football League and a championship season in the ill-fatedXFL. With the Steelers down 13–6, Maddox foundPlaxico Burress for the tying touchdown just before the two-minute warning. The game went to overtime, but Maddox was picked off on his first throw of the extra quarter. The Browns, however, gagged whenPhil Dawson missed a 45-yard field goal try. With new life the Steelers led by Maddox marched in range forTodd Peterson's 31-yarder and the 16–13 final.

In the first NFL tie since 1997,Tommy Maddox erupted with 473 passing yards (a club record that stood untilBen Roethlisberger broke it in 2009) and connected on four touchdown throws in his first matchup against the coach who drafted him inDenver,Dan Reeves.Reeves' Falcons, however, were surging behind the running of sophomore quarterbackMichael Vick. A 34–17 Steelers lead in the fourth could not be held asWarrick Dunn and Vick rushed the Falcons in range for a one-yardBob Christian rushing touchdown, aJay Feely field goal, and finally the tying Vick rushing score with 32 seconds remaining in regulation. In overtime the Steelers drove to range of a 48-yard field goal try byTodd Peterson, this after he'd missed a 40-yarder in regulation. The Falcons'Brian Finneran had caught six passes for 72 yards, but in his career debut on special teams he pulled off the play of the game by blocking the kick. Late in the extra quarter Maddox was picked off byKevin Mathis, but the subsequent 56-yad Feely try was blocked, with one second left on the clock. Maddox launched a desperation heave and Burress caught it, but was ruled down at the one-foot line with the game declared over. This would be the last time the Steelers would tie until Week 1 of the 2018 season.

Maddox's career nearly ended in tragedy as he threw a pass thatHines Ward turned into a 72-yard touchdown, but after completing just 14 of 28 throws for 194 yards and three picks he was sacked; the hit left him briefly paralyzed and he was taken to the hospital on a stretcher. He recovered from the hit butKordell Stewart had to come off the bench for what turned out to be his final three games with the Steelers. He completed 13 of 17 throws for two touchdowns and the Steelers also completed two two-point tries. It wasn't enough as the Titans behind 257 passing yards (with two touchdowns) bySteve McNair and 121 rushing yards (McNair andEddie George accounted for 103 of them) won 31–23.
