Pittsburgh Steelers head coach has now tied Chuck Noll for the most victories in franchise history.
After the Pittsburgh Steelers sealed their AFC North title with a victory over the Baltimore Ravens, they also helped head coach Mike Tomlin make history. With Sunday’s victory, Tomlin tied legendary Steelers head coach Chuck Noll for the most regular-season wins in franchise history.
With the 193rd win in franchise history, Tomlin is also tied for 9th place all-time. This same season, he surpassed Dan Reeves for sole possession of 10th place all-time.
The next regular season victory makes Tomlin the sole possessor of 9th place in league history and first in franchise history. What might be just as impressive is the fact that Tomlin reached 193 wins in just 19 seasons.
Noll coached the Steelers for 23 seasons, and it felt like no one would be able to match his total wins. However, Noll still has something that Tomlin and Cowher both have chased: multiple Super Bowl victories.
If you asked Tomlin, he’d tell you he prefers to match Noll’s championship mark. However, it doesn’t discredit the incredible achievement he achieved on Sunday.
A lot of things have to go right in professional football to win a game. To do it 193 times in 19 years is truly a remarkable feat.
The Steelers are locked into the fourth seed of the AFC playoffs. Now, Tomlin and the Steelers will turn their attention to the Houston Texans. They will host the Texans for the wildcard opening round of the NFL Playoffs next weekend.
