Pittsburgh Steelers Receiving First Downs Leaders

Career totals with the Steelers and the best single seasons in club history. Includes the 2026 season through October 29: these records are rebuilt every night, so a mark set yesterday is here this morning. Pittsburgh Pirates 1933-1939. 1943: merged with Philadelphia (Phil-Pitt); 1944: merged with the Chicago Cardinals (Card-Pitt). Merged-season player lines count for both franchises, as Pro-Football-Reference's franchise histories do. No schedule length in the source for 1943, 1944, so no season line that year qualifies for a rate board.
