The Pittsburgh Steelers are now 3-0 to start the 2024 regular season and in case you’re curious, that’s the eighth time that the team has accomplished such a feat since the league’s 1970 merger. So, based on history, what does a 3-0 start to the season mean for the 2024 Steelers when it comes to their playoff chances?
For starters, let the record show that the previous seven times that a Steelers team has started a season 3-0, each time they made the playoffs. Those seasons were 1973, 1978, 1979, 1992, 2007, 2010, and 2020. That’s obviously a 100 percent hit rate.
