It’s so good to be weird again. Fortunately for us, the Pittsburgh Steelers offered up plenty of it in their wild Week One win against the Buffalo Bills.
– Pittsburgh trailed 10-0 at halftime of today’s game. Entering today, Mike Tomlin’s teams were 0-6 when trailing 10-0 or greater (in that, the Steelers had zero points and the opponent had at least ten) at halftime. Today netted Tomlin his first such win.
Since the 1970 merger, Pittsburgh was 3-42 when trailing 10-0+ at the half. Their only three wins came in 2006 against the Browns (down 10-0, won 24-20), 1997 against the Jaguars (down 10-0, won 23-17 in OT), and 1976 also against the Browns (down 14-0, won 31-14).
