Chris Hoke isn’t guaranteeing the Pittsburgh Steelers having their first losing season under Mike Tomlin. But he thinks it’s a real possibility. Joining 93.7 The Fan Thursday, Hoke was asked for his season record prediction that surprised those listening.
“8-9,” he told the show. “I told Pomp before the show started and marked win loss, win loss.
If so, it would not only be the team’s first losing season under Tomlin, it would be the franchise’s first since the Steelers went 6-10 in 2003. Breaking the streak this year would prevent Tomlin from catching Bill Belichick (19) or Tom Landry for the longest non-losing streaks in NFL history.
