Technically speaking, the Pittsburgh Steelers will play their 62nd playoff game in the history of the franchise on Sunday at Heinz Field against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It’s technically because according to the team’s media release, the franchise counts the losses to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1947 Eastern Division Playoffs and the Detroit Lions in the 1962 season’s Playoff Bowl.
As part of the Steelers 36-25 all-time playoff record, it’s quite interesting to go back and look at the starting quarterbacks they have lost to during the postseason.
For starters, the Steelers first franchise playoff loss in 1947 to the Eagles came at the hands of Tommy Thompson, who started his professional football career with the Steelers in 1940.
