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 6-4 during the Mike Tomlin era in the
postseason, with three of the four 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 57 playoff games, which is second
all-time behind Dallas (60).
•
The Steelers have won 10 of their last 15 postseason games.

John Rauch
* Age on Feb. 1, 2009
•
Pittsburgh is 7-4 all-time in the postseason at Heinz Field
since the stadium opened in 2001, including winning four of
their previous five.
•
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 one team
and have a losing record versus nine teams.

Roethlisberger made his 150th career regular season start
in Week 8 vs. Indianapolis in 2014 to become just the fourth
quarterback in NFL history to record 100 wins in their first 150
regular season starts (Tom Brady: 116, Joe Montana: 108, Terry
and Bradshaw: 102).
Roethlisberger registered his 90th career win in his 135th career
start, becoming the fifth fastest quarterback who began their
career in the Super Bowl era to reach 90 wins.
His 63-27 record after his first 90 starts in the NFL ranked third
(tied) in league history for the best record in such starts. Only
Brady (67-23) and Stabler (66-23-1) had better records in their
first 90 starts in the NFL. Roethlisberger’s record is tied with Jim
McMahon.
THE 45,000 CLUB
QB Ben Roethlisberger became the first player in Steelers
history to register 45,000 career passing yards in Week 10’s game
vs. Dallas.
Roethlisberger is the 11th quarterback in NFL history to reach
the mark, the eighth to do so with one team, and the fourth active
signal caller with 45,000 passing yards.
Roethlisberger reached the 45,000 yard milestone in his 179th
regular-season game - the fifth-fewest games to reach the mark
in NFL history:

threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to WR Sammie Coates, and
the Steelers led 21-7 at the break.
Midway through the third quarter, QB Garrett Grayson threw a
31-yard touchdown to WR Tommylee Lewis to cut the lead to 2114, but it would be the closest the Saints would get the rest of the
game.
