Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin suffered another playoff loss, extending his franchise-record losing streak to six games. This raises questions about Tomlin's future with the team as fans and analysts demand change.
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, center, walks off the field with defensive tackle Cameron Heyward following an NFL wild-card playoff football game against the Baltimore Ravens, Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025, in Baltimore. The Ravens won 28-14. loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He has now lost six in a row in the postseason, which is a Steelers franchise record and the longest active streak in Tomlin’s tenure. His last playoff win was in 2017.
With that, Tomlin joins four other coaches in the pantheon of NFL history as coaches who have lost six or more straight playoff games in their career. Jim Mora, Marvin Lewis, Marty Schottenheimer, and Shane Owen are the only other coaches to reach that mark. Lewis holds the record with seven straight playoff losses.
If Tomlin can not turn around his lack of postseason success, the answer is simple -- he will not be around Pittsburgh much longer. He will be back next season, but even with the Steelers, patience is wearing thin with so many losses, and the same script is being run back year after year despite changes around Tomlin.
The playoff struggles need to change soon, and they will inevitably make big-time changes to the roster this offseason. However, nothing will shift unless Tomlin is willing to change his style of coaching., where our team of sports betting experts has reviewed the experience, payout speed, parlay options and quality of odds for multiple sportsbooks.
