Summary: The Pittsburgh Steelers have a tradition of playing the song "Renegade" by Styx during home games, particularly in the third quarter. This started in the early 2000s but became popular in 2002 during a playoff game against the Browns.

During that game, the Steelers were trailing 24-7 when "Renegade" was played, energizing the crowd and the team. The Steelers then outscored the Browns 22-9, leading to a comeback victory.

Since then, "Renegade" has become a key moment for fans, often associated with the defense making big plays immediately after the song is played.
