The NFL regular season is still two months away but people are already starting to talk trash. First up we have Miami Dolphins beat writer Travis Wingfield. Wingfield decided to disrespect the Steelers by saying if the Dolphins get them at home in the divisional round of the 2024 playoffs, it’s an automatic win for Miami.
“Can we get the Steelers, at home, in the divisional round this year,” Wingfield asked. “That would be a guaranteed trip to the conference championship game this year.”
At first, my thought was, ‘he’s not wrong considering the Steelers haven’t won a playoff game since 2016. But then after reading it again, and he mentioned the divisional round, which means taking on the Dolphins means the Steelers have probably won a playoff game to get there. If the streak is broken, all bets are off.
The Steelers last won a playoff game in the 2016 playoffs. They beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the division round. Ironically, the Steelers beat the Dolphins that year in the wild-card round.
