The Pittsburgh Steelers fought their way past the Seattle Seahawks 30-23 on Sunday. This helped the Steelers improve their record to 9-7 on the season. This not only keeps the Steelers in the thick of the playoff hunt but also secured head coach Mike Tomlin’s 17th consecutive non-losing season. Tomlin passed George Halas for the third-longest streak of its kind in NFL history.
Tomlin has come under heavy scrutiny in recent seasons due to playoff struggles but it’s tough to argue with his consistency. Many NFL teams consistently struggle to play meaningful football late into seasons but even if you think Pittsburgh isn’t going to make a deep playoff run, fans know there will be football that matters all the way through December.
Now the Steelers head into the final week of the season and need a win over the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC with their blowout win over the Miami Dolphins.
