Here's the Steelers record since the last time they won a playoff game:
Quote:2016: 4-3 by bye week. Finished 11-6 with 7 game winning streak. Last time they won a playoff game.
2017: 6-2 by the bye week. Finished 13-3. Lost in 1st round of playoffs.
2018: Started 7-2-1 with a six game winning streak. Ended 9-6-1. Missed playoffs
2019: Started 0-3. Got to 8-5. Finished 8-8. Missed playoffs
2020: Started 11-0! Finished 12-4. Lost in first round of the playoffs.
2021: Started 1-3. Got to 9-7-1. Never won more than two games in a row. Lost in 1st round.
They haven't had a strong second half of the season since 2017 until this year...and they missed the playoffs again. And I'd propose that a lot of that was the teams they played with poor offenses. But that is neither here nor there.
