The Steelers have made 'how did they do that?' victories an art form under Mike Tomlin
The Steelers have a 68.2% winning rate in one-score games since 2017 due to strong takeaway production and resilience despite statistical disadvantages.
- Mike Tomlin, head coach and longest-tenured head coach in major North American professional sports, has guided the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 682 winning percentage in one-score games since the start of 2017.
- Tomlin credits a `ball search culture` and the five takeaways the Steelers produced swung the game's outcome, while Patrick Queen said practice turnovers can reset the team before next week.
- Despite being outgained by more than 160 yards, the team produced no first down on four of eight drives and opponents convert 47% of third downs against Pittsburgh with just three three-and-outs through three games.
- Rookie Derrick Harmon made an immediate impact by recording his first sack and two tackles, while injuries may ease as Joey Porter Jr. and DeShon Elliott could return as soon as this week.
- Tomlin urged the team to `stay the course`, saying he values emotion and belief in tight games and added `It's good to win in the NFL`, praising road victories.
