No losing seasons in 18 years, not even really that big a drop off since the decline of their Franchise QB either. I hate the Steelers, you hate the Steelers, we all hate the Steelers, but it's just no contest... no losing seasons in 18 years, whilst big Zac is well on track for as many losing seasons as he has winning seasons.
Though I will say... both Pittsburgh and Baltimore are brilliant at regular season success... It's insane to think that Taylor only has 3 fewer playoff wins than Tomlin. Neither Mike or John really know how to get it done in the playoffs consistently (well, since 2012 for Harbaugh anyway, but that is a long time).
But to cut back to the sauce... those teams know how to balance a roster and remain competitive. The Bengals simply do not.
