If it feels like the Pittsburgh Steelers routinely capture victory from the jaws of defeat, it’s because they do. By now, you already know the Steelers play and win more one-score games than any other team. New data from analyst Warren Sharp shows one reason why. Since 2000, the Steelers easily have the most wins despite trailing through three quarters. Pittsburgh leads the NFL with 15 such wins.
