Mike Tomlin, the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, may go down in history as one of the best.
Week 17 saw the Steelers defeat the Seattle Seahawks 30-23, improving Pittsburgh’s record to 9-7 and ensuring head coach Mike Tomlin’s 17th straight winning campaign.
During his career in Pittsburgh, the Steelers could qualify for the postseason for the eleventh time.
While some supporters expected more from Tomlin, others took the time to honor one of the league’s most reliable coaches.
Since taking over as head coach in 2007, Tomlin has placed the Steelers in a winning position, even though the season may not always finish in postseason triumph.
This year, with quarterback inconsistency, he has also done so.
With differing degrees of success, the Steelers have started three quarterbacks this season: Kenny Pickett, Mitchell Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph.
And since Pickett is back to full health, Tomlin has made the decision to stick with Rudolph starting at quarterback for the first few plays of the team’s Week 18 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
In the last week of the season, the Steelers will need some assistance to make the playoffs as they are currently outside the playoff field and looking in.
