With the era of “tanking” to improve draft stock in an effort to retool on the fly quickly in today’s professional sports landscape, Pittsburgh Steelers fans are quite lucky to see the black and gold relatively competitive and fighting for a playoff spot each and every season.
Many will attempt to brush off the “no losing seasons” part of head coach Mike Tomlin’s resume, but it’s a rather impressive one overall, and honestly might never be topped. Entering Year 16, Tomlin has no experienced losing in any real fashion over the course of a regular season, impressively including a 2019 season in which Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was lost for the season just six quarters into the year, forcing the Steelers to turn to Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges.
