The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their Week One Sunday home opener to the San Francisco 49ers and now they are preparing for a second consecutive 2023 home game. That Week 2 home game will be on Monday night against the Cleveland Browns, and should they lose that contest as well, it will equal a dubious franchise mark that was last achieved in 1952.
In short, if the Steelers lose Sunday to the Browns, it will mark the first time since 1952 that they have lost back-to-back home games in Weeks One and Two, according to Stathead.com.
In that 1952 season, the Steelers lost their week one home game 31-25 to the Philadelphia Eagles in a Sunday, September 28 contest that was played at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.
