Summary

Steelers aim to win a playoff game for the first time since 2017.
Mike Tomlin has a 8-11 playoff record, losing his last six.
The Steelers host the Houston Texans in a wild-card matchup.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up to host the Houston Texans in a wild-card playoff game, with a primary objective: to secure their first postseason victory since the 2016 NFL playoffs. The team clinched a playoff berth by defeating the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18, marking their sixth appearance in the last nine seasons. However, each of their last five playoff entries resulted in an immediate exit in the wild-card round.

This recurring postseason disappointment has placed head coach Mike Tomlin's playoff performance under intense scrutiny. While Tomlin achieved early career success, including a Super Bowl 43 win, his recent playoff record has been less impressive. He has coached 19 playoff games, holding a current record of 8-11. The upcoming game against the Texans will be his 20th playoff appearance.

Tomlin's overall tenure with the Steelers includes 193 regular-season wins, tying him with franchise legend Chuck Noll. He is one of only 11 coaches with over 200 combined regular-season and postseason victories. Notably, Tomlin has never experienced a losing season in his 19 years with the team, maintaining at least eight wins each season.
