La temporada 1998 de los Pittsburgh Steelers fue la temporada número 66 de la franquicia como franquicia de deportes profesionales y como miembro de la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano .

Esta temporada marcó la primera vez desde la temporada de 1991 que los Steelers no lograron llegar a los playoffs. Pittsburgh terminó 7-9 después de comenzar la temporada 5-2, perdiendo sus últimos cinco juegos para perder un lugar en los playoffs . Fue el primer récord perdedor de Bill Cowher como entrenador de los Steelers.

La temporada estuvo marcada por un controvertido final del partido del Día de Acción de Gracias del equipo contra los Detroit Lions , donde Jerome Bettis afirmó que calificó el lanzamiento de la moneda en el tiempo extra como "cruz", aunque el árbitro Phil Luckett escuchó " cara ". Los Lions ganaron 19-16 y comenzaron la racha perdedora de los Steelers para terminar la temporada.

Las jugadas ineptas de Kordell Stewart fueron citadas como otro conflicto, ya que los fanáticos lentamente comenzaron a volverse contra él. Después de su temporada de 1997 11-5 , Pittsburgh perdió dos componentes ofensivos clave: Chan Gailey , el coordinador ofensivo que se convirtió en entrenador en jefe de los Dallas Cowboys , y su principal receptor, Yancey Thigpen , un Pro Bowler de Pittsburgh en 1997, quien se unió a los Tennessee Oilers .
