Mike Tomlin Praised by NFL Twitter for 16th Straight Non-Losing Season as Steelers HC

It didn't go as planned for the PittsburghSteelers, but there was still a silver lining thanks to Sunday's win over the ClevelandBrowns.

Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season in his 16 years as head coach. In the first season after Ben Roethlisberger's retirement, the team went with a combination of Kenny Pickett andMitch Trubisky under center, and this was one of his best efforts.

The coach has been praised on social media.

The Steelers woke up on Thanksgiving at 3-7. They went 6-1 down the stretch, not allowing 20 points in any game. Mike Tomlin has now been a head coach for 16 seasons and NEVER had a losing record.

Never take Tomlin's greatness for granted.

Steelers going from 2-6 to 9-8 is amazing. The rest of the AFC field should be very relieved they didn't get in.

Mike Tomlin is incredible. He has not had a losing season in 16 straight years. It's one of the most astonishing feats.

In a division of QB's named Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, & Deshaun Watson. Tomlin went 9-8 with Mitch Trubisky and rookie Kenny Pickett.#Steelers #HereWeGo

Mike Tomlin did it.Zero losing seasons as a head coach.

They were 2-6 this year and starting a rookie QB nobody else wanted. Wild outcome.

Mike Tomlin continues to never be a losing Head Coach in the NFL

Steelers miss the playoffs but found something else, a quarterback. Kenny Pickett's development in 2022 may be worth all of it

If the New York Jets defeated the Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh would have had the chance to carry over its late season success into the playoffs. Miami is in the playoffs because they didn't score a single touchdown in their win.

It seemed as if the PittsburghSteelers were going to get the results they needed with New York and Miami locked in a battle, but their luck ran out as the Dolphins prevailed.

The team did what they could with a victory over the rivals.

The defense forced two turnovers, the quarterback threw for 195 yards and a touchdown, and the running back scored on the ground. The defense had seven sacks and it was an impressive all-around showing for the victors.

The focus now is on next season when the Steelers will look to make a jump with the development of Pickett.

History shows that they will.
