History said the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to lose Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite the on-paper advantage, Mike Tomlin entered the game 2-9 for Thursday night road games and 0-6 versus the AFC North. Tally another loss in both columns.
But history, as the saying goes, is bound to repeat itself. If the same holds true as it did for Thursday night, the Steelers will bounce back with a big win next Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers.
In the Tomlin era, he’s 7-2 following a Thursday night road loss. A strong bounce back record.
