Steelers 0-4-1 in their past 5 gms entering 8+gms below .500 teams

Saw this on Madden and on The Nightly Sports Call :

Steelers are winless (0-4-1) in their past 5 games vs teams entering 8+ games below .500, tying the longest such streak in the NFL. …

2020–L @ 2-10 Bengals
2021–T vs 0-8 Lions
2023–L vs 2-10 Cardinals
2023–L vs 2-10 Patriots
2025–L @ 3-12 Browns

I found this statistic amazing yet not surprising.

 

FIRE TOMLIN!!!

FIRE TOMLIN!!!

 

I agree, and instinctively I knew and I think many others here did. From the start of that game, I just knew they were going to lose. It's not a normal negative nancy thing, but this one felt like yeah this one feels like what normally happens now. Good to see that confirmed, but sure sucks.

 

The way this team is coached the margins of winning and losing are so small. This is not all that surprising.

 

Tomlin has won 8 of 12 straight up since 2021 as a home dog, but is 1-2 in 2025.

 

Now there's a trend for you

 

This has been going on since 2014 vs the Mike Glennon Bucs.

Happened some also in 2009 season... but that might as well been a century ago.

 

"Good Evening Mr. Kane!"

 

This is brutal

 

Before the game, Tomlin should pack a suitcase...because it is a 50/50 chance he gets set out of here on the next flight.

 

50/50 would imply the Steelers have a decent chance on Sunday (if that’s what you meant) It’s probably more like 70/30 Ravens. Also, Tomlin's very likely not going anywhere—regardless of what happens Sunday.
