The Pittsburgh Steelers were supposed to finish below .500 a number of times in recent years. Even after starting a season 2-6, though, Mike Tomlin has managed to crawl out of the basement. His consecutive non-losing season streak grows both more impressive the longer it lasts and less so the longer his postseason drought does.
But the 2025 season could be the year Tomlin and the Steelers finally bottom out. They made a go of it with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields last year, and it didn’t work out. In fact, the bottom dropped out by the end of the season.
