The Maulers scored the least amount of points in the USFL (147) and also gave up a league-worst amount (243).
They started the season with a three-game losing skid, before finally getting off the mark with a dramatic 21-20 win against Houston.
Pittsburgh failed to build on that though, losing each of the remaining five games of the season.
The Maulers have made a change at head coach in the offseason, replacing Kirby Wilson with Ray Horton.
New Orleans Breakers Form
New Orleans finished the 2022 regular season with a 6-4 record that earned them a trip to the playoffs.
The Breakers started strong as they won five of their first seven games, a run that included a 23-17 win over who Philadelphia, who went on to appear in the USFL Championship Game.
That good run secured them playoff football with weeks to spare so they were able to rest their better players over the final few weeks, resulting in two defeats in their final three games.
New Orleans took on Birmingham in the Division Finals – a team that swept them during the regular season.
The Breakers were unable to avenge those two defeats, falling to a 31-17 defeat that ended their season.
