Mike Tomlin is in his 16th season as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach. There has been one common factor in all of the first 15 seasons. The team has never finished below .500. This is a fact that Tomlin’s strongest supporters quote when those on the other side call for his job.
It is also a fact that hasn’t escaped the players. Wide receiver Diontae Johnson was interviewed after Pittsburgh’s 24-16 win over the Carolina Panthers and said it is important to the team to keep Tomlin’s streak alive.
In order for this to happen, Pittsburgh will need to win out. Next week the Steelers come home to take on the Las Vegas Raiders. Then it is back-to-back AFC North games to finish out the season. First on the road for a rematch with the Baltimore Ravens and then wrapping things up at home against the Cleveland Browns. Pittsburgh lost to Baltimore and Cleveland already this season.
“It’s really important to us… We want to finish out strong for him."
