TOMLIN IN THE PLAYOFFS
MISC. STEELERS POSTSEASON NOTES
Head Coach Mike Tomlin is only the second coach in NFL
history to reach two Super Bowls in his first four seasons as a
head coach (Joe Gibbs - Washington Redskins).
The Steelers are 7-5 during the Mike Tomlin era in the
postseason, with three of the five losses being by six points or
less.
Mike Tomlin is the youngest coach in NFL history to win a Super
Bowl. The following is a look at the youngest head coaches in
Super Bowl history:
•
In 2005, the Steelers became the first No. 6 seed in NFL
history to win the Super Bowl. Since then two other Wild
Card teams have gone on to win the Super Bowl (’10 Green
Bay, sixth seed and ’07 Giants, fifth seed).
•
Pittsburgh has played in 58 playoff games, which is second
all-time behind Dallas (60).
•
The Steelers have won 10 of their last 15 postseason games.

* Age on Feb. 1, 2009
•
Pittsburgh is 8-4 all-time in the postseason at Heinz Field
since the stadium opened in 2001, including winning five of
their previous six.
•
The Steelers won the AFC Central title a team-record six
consecutive seasons from 1974-79. They also won four
consecutive division titles from 1994-97.
•
The Steelers won a team-record seven consecutive
postseason games, including two Super Bowls (IX and X),
from Dec. 22, 1974 through Dec. 19, 1976. They won six
consecutive postseason games from Dec. 30, 1978 through
Jan. 20, 1980, including victories in Super Bowls XIII and XIV.
•
The Steelers have been shut out only once in the postseason,
during the 1947 Eastern Division Playoff game, Dec. 21,
1947, versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The Steelers and
Eagles finished that season with 8-4 records and tied for
first place in the Eastern Division. In those days, there was
only one NFL Championship Game, so the two Pennsylvania
neighbors squared off for the right to face the Chicago
Cardinals in the Championship Game. The Eagles won, 21-0,
but lost in the Championship Game, 28-21, to the Cardinals,
the same franchise the Steelers faced in Super Bowl XLIII.
•
The Steelers record for fewest points allowed in a playoff
game is five, during a 34-5 win in the 1978 AFC Championship
Game versus the Houston Oilers at Three Rivers Stadium,
on Jan. 7, 1979. The Steelers allowed a team-high 45 points
during a 45-28 AFC Championship Game road loss to the
Miami Dolphins on Jan. 6, 1985.
•
Pittsburgh has faced 22 different teams in the postseason
and has a winning record against 12 of those opponents. The
Steelers have split their postseason contests with two teams
and have a losing record versus eight teams.

October 2, 2015
Heinz Field (61,278)
PITTSBURGH - The Steelers scored a team record 22
first-quarter points en route to a 43-14 victory over the
Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football at Heinz
Field.
Pittsburgh’s three first-quarter touchdowns came from
touchdown passes by QB Ben Roethlisberger. After DE
Stephon Tuitt forced a fumble on RB Spencer Ware that
was recovered by CB Ross Cockrell, Roethlisberger threw
a 31-yard touchdown to WR Darrius Heyward-Bey.
After an interception by LB Jarvis Jones, Roethlisberger
threw a four-yard touchdown to WR Antonio Brown. After
a short punt by the Chiefs, Roethlisberger and Brown
connected again, this time on a 38-yard touchdown, to give
the Steelers a 22-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Roethlisberger threw a nine-yard touchdown to TE Jesse
James in the second quarter, and the Steelers took a 29-0
lead into halftime.
On Pittsburgh’s first drive of the second half, Roethlisberger
threw his fifth touchdown pass of the game, this one a
30-yarder to WR Markus Wheaton, to give the Steelers a
36-0 advantage.
The Chiefs got on the board early in the fourth quarter
when QB Alex Smith threw a 10-yard touchdown to WR
Tyreek Hill. The Steelers countered that score with a
touchdown of their own, when RB DeAngelo Williams
scored on a two-yard run. Smith added a three-yard
touchdown pass to TE Travis Kelce late in the fourth quarter
for the Chiefs’ final points.
Pittsburgh’s defense totaled four sacks, included three
from DE Cameron Heyward, and forced two turnovers.
