The Steelers are one of the most storied franchises in the history of the National Football League. The Rooney family prides themselves by being a competitive team – year in and year out. Because of this, Pittsburgh rarely has down seasons.
In fact, the Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t had a losing record once since 2003 when they finished the season 6-10. Of course, Troy Polamalu started on defense the following season and Ben Roethlisberger was drafted that year as well. They haven’t looked back ever since – finishing 8-8 at worst over the past 15 seasons.
Dating back even further, the Steelers have only had 3 losing seasons since 1992, and 4 losing seasons since 1989.
