Done Deal: Tomlin has now begun his career with a record 17 straight non-losing seasons…

Pittsburgh’s postseason aspirations remain unsettled, but Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has extended his record-setting streak for consistent success.

Tomlin has now begun his career with a record 17 straight non-losing seasons following the Steelers’ win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Pittsburgh improved its record to 9-7 and clinched a winning campaign, the 14th of Tomlin’s career.

Along with Tomlin’s individual success, Pittsburgh has now registered its 20th consecutive season of .500 or better, which harkens back to the final years of Hall of Famer Bill Cowher’s tenure on the sidelines. The streak is the second-longest in NFL history, trailing the Dallas Cowboys’ 21-season streak from 1965-1985.

Hall of Fame head coach Tom Landry was with Dallas for the duration of the aforementioned run, and his mark of 21 consecutive non-losing seasons stands as the most all-time, ahead of Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots at 19 (2001-2019) and Tomlin at 17, from 2007 through Sunday.

Steelers have made seven players inactive for their Week 17 game against the Seattle Seahawks. The team announced quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle), safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee), safety Trenton Thompson (neck), inside linebacker Elandon Roberts (pectoral), offensive tackle Dylan Cook, cornerback Darius Rush and defensive tackle DeMarvin Leal will not dress in Seattle. Fitzpatrick, Roberts and Thompson were all ruled out due to injury coming into the weekend. Despite hope Fitzpatrick and Thompson could return this week, neither were able to see enough of – or in Fitzpatrick’s case, any – the field in time to be active after missing last week
