Half a season ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers secured their eighth win of the 2020 season. In doing so, it ensured that the team would not finish below .500 for yet another year, marking the 17th consecutive season in which the organization would post a non-winning season—or every year since they drafted Ben Roethlisberger in 2004.
It broke a tie for the second-longest streak of non-losing seasons since the NFL-AFL merger, and, to the best of my knowledge, the third-longest streak of all time. But with the New England Patriots securing a losing season in 2020, it now opens up the door for the Steelers to post the longest streak of all time.
