Mike Priefer’s Game-Worn Attire Heading To Canton As First Acting Head Coach To Win Playoff Game In Win Over Steelers

While the Pittsburgh Steelers might not have accomplished much in the postseason over the course of the past decade in terms of their own, tangible organizational success, they have been a part of some historic playoff games—generally for the wrong reasons.

You can go all the way back to 2011. The Steelers went 12-4 that year, but so did the Baltimore Ravens, and they owned the tiebreaker. So Pittsburgh went in as a wildcard and played Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos at home. That was the first postseason game in NFL history to be decided under the new overtime rules in which a team must score a touchdown on their opening drive to end the game.
