The Steelers haven’t finished with a losing record since 2003, and with four games left this season, they currently sit at 7-6. With two more wins, they will have a winning season and set a new NFL record.
Pittsburgh’s current streak of 21 consecutive seasons with a mark of .500 or better is tied for the longest streak in NFL history. The Cowboys also had 21 consecutive seasons of .500 or better from 1965 to 1985.

If the Steelers finish this season at .500 or better, they will make it 22 years in a row and have the record to themselves.
The Steelers’ remaining four games will be at home against the Dolphins, at Detroit, at Cleveland and at home against the Ravens. The betting odds favor the Steelers to win at least two of these games and finish with at least nine wins.
The Steelers haven’t won a playoff game since 2017, and coach Mike Tomlin’s seat has become hot as Pittsburgh fans increasingly view simply finishing .500 or better as too low a bar. But it’s a bar that the Steelers have crossed every year, for more than two decades.
