Although the Mike Tomlin-led Steelers suffered a late-season collapse to end the 2024 regular season—losing four straight contests to drop to 10-7—the Pittsburgh faithful have plenty to be excited about. The Steelers could be primed for their first playoff win in seven years when they take on the Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card round.
Since 1947, the Pittsburgh Steelers have compiled a 36-28 record in the NFL playoffs. The Steelers’ first playoff game in the Super Bowl era came in 1972 against the Oakland Raiders, a 13-7 victory that marked the beginning of their modern postseason legacy.
Historically, the Black and Gold have struggled in the wild-card round, losing six of their fourteen matchups. However, they’ve excelled in the divisional round, posting an impressive 16-10 record. Pittsburgh’s AFC Championship record stands at 8-8, though the team hasn’t claimed the conference title since the 2010 season.
The Steelers’ last playoff win came in the 2016 divisional round against the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving fans of the Steel City eager for another postseason breakthrough.
If Pittsburgh can defeat the Baltimore Ravens in the 2024 wild-card round, history suggests they could build on their divisional-round success to make a deeper playoff run—and potentially win their seventh Super Bowl title.
