Research has shown that since Randy Fichtner has taken over as OC, the Pittsburgh Steelers have continuously struggled to finish each season off strong.
After an embarrassing loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, who are now 3-10-1, the Pittsburgh Steelers losing streak has reached three games. This is the second time Pittsburgh has lost to a team with a sub .500 record since Week 13 of the 2020 NFL season. However, this is nothing new for Mike Tomlin and his team over the past three seasons, and analytics will showcase why.
