With their defeat to the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers set yet another NFL record for postseason incompetence.They have won 80 games in the regular season, but they haven’t won a postseason game in eight years. Instead, they set a new record, which would have been the profile of one of the NFL’s most successful teams.
No club in NFL history has ever amassed as many victories in eight years without winning a postseason game as those 80 victories. Mike Tomlin looks to be at a loss for words after this game, and his responses to this topic are still, at best, mild.
Pittsburgh now has six consecutive postseason losses, matching the Miami Dolphins for the most in the NFL. Furthermore, it is the franchise’s longest losing run in postseason history.
In the last six losses, the Steelers have fallen behind by 20 points or more in every game, a pattern that has become all too typical for the team. It is really worrisome, and many players find it difficult to adequately explain.
