**Steelers Poised to Tie NFL Record with 21st Straight Non-Losing Season**

The Pittsburgh Steelers are on the brink of equaling an NFL record with their impressive consistency. With an 8-2 record this season, they are heading toward yet another successful year under head coach Mike Tomlin, who has remarkably never had a losing season in his coaching career.

A win or tie against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night will secure the Steelers a non-losing season for the 21st consecutive year. This would match the record held by the Dallas Cowboys, who maintained a streak of 21 straight seasons at .500 or better from 1965 to 1985. The Steelers have not experienced a losing record since 2003, when they went 6-10 under then-head coach Bill Cowher. Since then, their worst finish has been 8-8.

Throughout this span, the Steelers have had 41 winning seasons since 1972, including their memorable dynasty that began in that decade. In comparison, they have only had seven losing seasons and five .500 seasons. The next-longest streak of non-losing seasons belongs to the New England Patriots, who never finished below .500 from 2001 to 2019.

The consistency and success of the Steelers over the decades are a testament to the strong foundation laid in 1972 and the leadership of their coaching staff, particularly Mike Tomlin in recent years. The anticipated non-losing record this season would not only fortify their legacy but also place them alongside the legendary Cowboys in the annals of NFL history.
