Another playoff chance. Another playoff exit. And so the Pittsburgh Steelers’ drought continues. Though Pittsburgh has no problem getting to the postseason, winning a game in the dance has proven to be like climbing Mt. Everest.
With Monday night’s 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans, the Steelers have now lost an incredible seven-straight postseason games. A streak that began in the 2016 AFC Championship Game to the New England Patriots. The 2017 Divisional Round upset by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 2020 Wild Card loss to the Cleveland Browns, a defeat that hurt even more. Ben Roethlisberger’s final game, a loss to the heavily favored Kansas City Chiefs in 2021’s first round.
