Pittsburgh improved its record to 9-7 and clinched a winning campaign, the 14th of Tomlin’s career.
Along with Tomlin’s individual success, Pittsburgh has now registered its 20th consecutive season of .500 or better, which harkens back to the final years of Hall of Famer Bill Cowher’s tenure on the sidelines. The streak is the second-longest in NFL history, trailing the Dallas Cowboys’ 21-season streak from 1965-1985.
Hall of Fame head coach Tom Landry was with Dallas for the duration of the aforementioned run, and his mark of 21 consecutive non-losing seasons stands as the most all-time, ahead of Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots at 19 (2001-2019) and Tomlin at 17, from 2007 through Sunday.
