The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys 24-19 on the road Sunday and in doing so they improved their record to 8-0 on the season, which is the first time that has ever happened in the history of the franchise. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin talked about that historical aspect following the team’s win in Dallas immediately after the game was over with.
“I’m really proud of our football team. 8-0, man, for the first time in franchise history,” Tomlin said during his postgame press conference. “We’re humbled and honored to be that group.”
While it’s the first time ever that a Steelers team has started a season 8-0, they’re obviously not the first team to accomplish the feat.
