We hear on a yearly basis, especially around November, that the Pittsburgh Steelers have never had a losing season in 16 years under head coach Mike Tomlin. Some in the fanbase loath that statement while others use it as a base to defend, well, the standard of the franchise. After all, a winning record means playoff opportunity is at the very least, within reach.
While that argument will continue to permeate for as long as the Steelers fall short of the much loftier standard of competing for championships, the situation does lend itself to another wildly impressive streak in franchise history.
