Another Wild Card Weekend has passed in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers preparing to head home after an embarrassing 24-point loss to the Houston Texans at Acrisure Stadium. In the coming hours and days, Steelers fans will wonder if they just watched Mike Tomlin’s final game as the franchise’s head coach.
Despite his mark of consistency, 19-straight non-losing seasons, Tomlin’s other consistent trait is coming up short in the playoffs. He tied ex-Bengals coach Marvin Lewis for most consecutive postseason losses without a win.
Meanwhile, Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans tied Tomlin’s playoff win total over the past 15 seasons with his third playoff win in as many seasons.
