All Mike Tomlin does is win. By virtue of the Steelers’ 44-38 victory over the Bengals on Sunday, Tomlin extended his NFL record of consecutive non-losing seasons by a head coach to begin his career. 

Tomlin, who succeeded Steelers Hall of Fame coach Bill Cowher in 2007, sealed his 18th consecutive non-losing season in Week 13. The 52-year-old Tomlin has been adding to his record since 2021, when he broke a tie with Marty Schottenheimer for the most consecutive non-losing seasons to begin a head-coaching career. 

In 18 seasons, Tomlin’s teams have had 15 winning seasons (three seasons where they went .500). Pittsburgh has qualified for the playoffs 11 times under Tomlin’s watch. The Steelers have won seven AFC North division titles under Tomlin in addition to two AFC championships and one Super Bowl, which occurred in Tomlin’s second season at the helm.
