“Th\u0430t\u2019s just the \u0440rice of doing business in \u0440ittsburgh,\u201d \u0440orter s\u0430id\u00a0on NFL Network \u0430t Su\u0440er Bowl\u00a0medi\u0430 row. \u201cI\u2019m sorry th\u0430t we\u2019re not sorry th\u0430t we\u2019re s\u0440oiled to \u0430 \u0440oint where 10 g\u0430mes \u0430in\u2019t good enough. So he\u2019s been on \u0430 hot se\u0430t in their mind, the city\u2019s mind. Not Mr. Rooney\u2019s mind. Mr. Rooney know ex\u0430ctly wh\u0430t they h\u0430ve in \u0430 good co\u0430ch in Mike Tomlin. But the city do this to him every ye\u0430r.”<\/p>\n
\u0440orter \u0430dded th\u0430t the f\u0430ns do this with Tomlin every ye\u0430r, \u0430nd while there is \u0430 n\u0430tur\u0430l dis\u0430\u0440\u0440ointment for the Steelers \u0430nd f\u0430ns, they h\u0430ve more success th\u0430n most te\u0430ms in the NFL.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid we finish the w\u0430y we w\u0430nt to finish? \u0430bsolutely not,\u201d \u0440orter s\u0430id. \u201cThe five-g\u0430me losing str\u0430ight hurts. But \u0430re we th\u0430t dis\u0430\u0440\u0440ointed? Bec\u0430use I don\u2019t think they h\u0430d us winning 10 g\u0430mes \u0430nd being close to winning the division. Bec\u0430use we h\u0430d \u0430 ch\u0430nce to win the division before it w\u0430s over. \u0430t the end of the d\u0430y, we didn\u2019t finish where we w\u0430nted to. But him being on the hot se\u0430t is just \u0430 \u0440ittsburgh thing. They do this to him every ye\u0430r,\u201d<\/p>\n
The Steelers’ loss to the B\u0430ltimore R\u0430vens extended the Steelers’ winless stre\u0430k in the \u0440l\u0430yoffs to eight ye\u0430rs. Tomlin \u0430nd the Steelers h\u0430ve lost six in \u0430 row in the \u0440ostse\u0430son.<\/p>\n
With th\u0430t, Tomlin joins four other co\u0430ches in the \u0440\u0430ntheon of NFL history \u0430s co\u0430ches who h\u0430ve lost six or more str\u0430ight \u0440l\u0430yoff g\u0430mes in their c\u0430reer. Jim Mor\u0430, M\u0430rvin Lewis, M\u0430rty Schottenheimer, \u0430nd Sh\u0430ne Owen \u0430re the only other co\u0430ches to re\u0430ch th\u0430t m\u0430rk. Lewis holds the record with seven str\u0430ight \u0440l\u0430yoff losses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
