Less weird this week. These stats fall into the “depressing” category.. And I’m very sorry for that.
– Since the NFL expanded to a 16 game schedule in 1978, ten teams have begun the year 11-0. The Steelers are one of just two teams to finish the season with at least three losses, joining the 2009 New Orleans Saints (who went on to win a Super Bowl, if you’re searching for a silver lining).
No team over that span have won their first 11 and then finished with at least four losses. Pittsburgh in prime position to become the first.
