The Pittsburgh Steelers and their head coach, Mike Tomlin, are under heavy fire this season after posting a 13-3 record but falling in the Divisional Round, in spite of the fact that they have reached at least the Divisional Round in three straight seasons.
The Baltimore Ravens have not even reached the Wildcard Round for three straight seasons. And yet the team and owner Steve Bisciotti is not about to fire John Harbaugh, who led his team to the Super Bowl in 2012 but has since posted exactly a 40-40 record in the five years since, the definition of average.
