Mike Tomlin Takes Responsibility for Steelers' Eight-Year Playoff Drought

The Steelers' head coach aims to break the team's postseason losing streak as they prepare to face the Ravens after a four-game slide.

Mike Tomlin, the NFL's longest-tenured coach, has acknowledged the Steelers' eight-year playoff victory drought as his responsibility, not the current team's burden.
Pittsburgh ended the regular season with a four-game losing streak, including a decisive loss to the Ravens, their upcoming playoff opponent.
The Steelers' recent playoff failures have followed a pattern of slow starts, leaving them struggling to recover in games against top-tier opponents.
Backup quarterback Justin Fields, who contributed to the Steelers' strong 10-3 start earlier in the season, may be reintegrated to spark the offense.
Despite recent struggles, Tomlin remains optimistic, emphasizing the team's resilience and commitment to addressing their shortcomings.
