The Steelers survived to defeat the Lions in a true nail biter on Sunday afternoon, a 29–24 win that came down to an offensive pass interference call as time expired. And not only was the victory a much-needed boon to Pittsburgh's playoff chances, but it also represented a huge milestone for both head coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers organization itself.
On Tomlin's front, the dub meant that the coach has successfully clinched his 19th consecutive non-losing season, tying former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick for the second-most consecutive non-losing seasons of all-time. Both coaches, meanwhile, sit behind Cowboys coach Tom Landry, who enjoyed a streak of 20 non-losing seasons from 1965 to ’85, per CBS Sports.
