Mike Tomlin hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016. It hasn’t been for a lack of trying.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have reached the playoffs in three of the previous four seasons. They went one and done in each of them.

Of course, it would be unreasonable to blame Tomlin for Pittsburgh’s recent lack of postseason success.

The Steelers went 10-7 last season with Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, and Mason Rudolph at quarterback.

This year, they went 10-7 with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

Pittsburgh has never finished with a losing record under Tomlin. Still, the Steelers enter the postseason on the heels of four straight losses, and it would take the biggest upset of the Wild Card round for them to go any further.

Is there anything Tomlin can do to put his team in position to shock the football world with a victory over the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens on Saturday?

Maybe there is, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

This is the Morning Coffee for Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025.........
