TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF SUPER BOWL XL

BETTIS TO HALL OF FAME

The Pittsburgh Steelers celebrated the 10th anniversary of its


Super Bowl XL victory during Week
10 of the 2015 season.
On Saturday, Nov. 14, the Alumni Weekend Dinner Heinz Field
highlighted the Super Bowl XL
team. The annual event benefitted
the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program and Cancer Caring
Center.
At halftime of the Steelers game the following day against the
Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field, members of the Super Bowl XL
championship team were introduced on the stadium field and recnognized for their achievement in capturing the teams fifth of six
Lombardi trophies.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers RB


Jerome Bettis was honored for his
illustrious career as one of the NFLs
most prolific running backs as he
was elected to the Pro Football Hall
of Fame Class of 2015, and was enshrined on Saturday, August 8, at Tom
Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.
He was honored during the teams
Thursday Night Football game in
Week 4 against Baltimore during a special ring ceremony.
Bettis played in 192 regular-season games in his 13-year career,
spending his first three years with the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams
and the final 10 with the Steelers. The Detroit native registered the
sixth-most rushing yards (13,662) in NFL history. Bettis eclipsed the
100-yard rushing mark in 61 games during the regular season and
three times in the postseason, compiling a 47-17 record in those
contests.
He recorded 78 rushing touchdowns as a member of the Steelers during the regular season, the second-most in franchise history
behind Hall of Famer Franco Harris (91). In all, Bettis led his team
in rushing 11 seasons, three with the Rams and eight with the Steelers. His eight 1,000-plus yard seasons tied for third-best in the NFL
when he retired.
Bettis was named to six Pro Bowls, voted first team All-Pro twice,
second team All-Pro once and was the NFLs Comeback Player of
the Year in 1996. In 10 years in Pittsburgh, Bettis helped the Steelers reach four AFC Championship games and win Super Bowl XL in
2005, finishing his career with a victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
Before he came to Pittsburgh in 1996 and recorded 1,431 rushing
yards in his first season, the Steelers had only one 1,000+ yard
rusher in the previous 12 seasons.

MISC. STEELERS POSTSEASON NOTES

In 2005, the Steelers became the first No. 6 seed in NFL history
to win the Super Bowl. Since then two other Wild Card teams
have gone on to win the Super Bowl (10 Green Bay, sixth seed
and 07 Giants, fifth seed).

Pittsburgh has played in 57 playoff games, which is second


all-time behind Dallas (60).

The Steelers have won 10 of their last 14 postseason games.

Pittsburgh is 7-3 all-time in the postseason at Heinz Field since


the stadium opened in 2001, including winning four of their
previous five.

The Steelers won the AFC Central title a team-record six


consecutive seasons from 1974-79. They also won four
consecutive division titles from 1994-97.

The Steelers won a team-record seven consecutive postseason


games, including two Super Bowls (IX and X), from Dec.
22, 1974 through Dec. 19, 1976. They won six consecutive
postseason games from Dec. 30, 1978 through Jan. 20, 1980,
including victories in Super Bowls XIII and XIV.

The Steelers have been shut out only once in the postseason,
during the 1947 Eastern Division Playoff game, Dec. 21, 1947,
versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The Steelers and Eagles
finished that season with 8-4 records and tied for first place in
the Eastern Division. In those days, there was only one NFL
Championship Game, so the two Pennsylvania neighbors
squared off for the right to face the Chicago Cardinals in
the Championship Game. The Eagles won, 21-0, but lost in
the Championship Game, 28-21, to the Cardinals, the same
franchise the Steelers faced in Super Bowl XLIII.

The Steelers record for fewest points allowed in a playoff game


is five, during a 34-5 win in the 1978 AFC Championship Game
versus the Houston Oilers at Three Rivers Stadium, on Jan. 7,
1979. The Steelers allowed a team-high 45 points during a 4528 AFC Championship Game road loss to the Miami Dolphins
on Jan. 6, 1985.
Pittsburgh has faced 22 different teams in the postseason
and has a winning record against 12 of those opponents. The
Steelers have split their postseason contests with one team and
have a losing record versus nine teams.

THE LAST TIME VS. DENVER


Pittsburgh 34, Denver 27
Dec. 20, 2015
Heinz Field (67,234)
PITTSBURGH The Steelers overcame a 17-point deficit
to beat the Broncos 34-27 in front of a record-setting crowd
in the regular-season finale at Heinz Field. The 17-point
comeback marked the largest comeback since October 5,
1997, when the Steelers trailed the Baltimore Ravens by 21
points and came back to win 42-34.
Pittsburghs defense came up with a turnover on the Broncos first drive, as S Will Allen forced a fumble that was recovered by S Mike Mitchell. Two plays later, RB DeAngelo
Williams scored on a two-yard run to give Pittsburgh the
early 7-0 lead. But it would be all Broncos for the remainder
of the half.
QB Brock Osweiler threw three touchdowns and rushed
for another as he led the team to 27 first-half points. Osweiler connected with WR Demaryius Thomas for an 18-yard
touchdown to tie the game 7-7. Osweiler then threw a 61yard touchdown to WR Emmanuel Sanders to make it 14-7.
Osweiler scored on a seven yard run to make it 20-7.
K Chris Boswell made a 24-yard field goal midway
through the second quarter to cut the lead to 20-10, but
Osweiler threw a six-yard touchdown on Denvers ensuing
drive to give the team a 27-10 lead. Boswells 41-yard field
goal late in the second quarter made it 27-13 at halftime.
The Steelers defense shut down the Broncos in the second half, and QB Ben Roethlisberger threw three secondhalf touchdowns, two to WR Antonio Brown and one to WR
Markus Wheaton to give Pittsburgh the 34-27 victory.

THE TOMLIN FILE

THE TOMLIN FILE CONTD

Mike Tomlin was named the 16th head coach in Pittsburgh


Steelers history on Jan. 22, 2007. Hired at the age of 34, Tomlin
became only the third head coach hired by the Steelers since 1969.
Tomlin became the youngest head coach in NFL history to both
coach in and win a Super Bowl when he led the Steelers to a 27-23
victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. By winning
the Super Bowl in only his second season as a head coach, he also
became the fastest to win a Super Bowl title in Steelers history.
Through nine seasons, Tomlin has accomplished many things that
have never been done in the teams storied history. His 92-52 record
(.639) is best start in franchise history. He has guided the Steelers
defense to the NFLs top ranking in total defense four times, including
most recently in 2012. He has sent a total of 48 selections to the
leagues annual Pro Bowl, including three following 2015. Tomlin has
reached the playoffs six times in his first nine seasons, including two
trips to the Super Bowl (winning Super Bowl XLIII).
Tomlin is one of only seven coaches in league history to win a
Super Bowl within his first two seasons as an NFL head coach.
Tomlin is the only head coach in Steelers history to lead the team
to two Super Bowls in his first four seasons at the helm, including
an appearance against the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV.
He is one of only two Steelers head coaches to win three division
titles in his first four seasons. Tomlin was appointed by Commisioner
Roger Goodell to the NFLs Competition Committee in March, 2013.
In 2014, Tomlin, who has a defensive coaching background,
orchestrated one of the top offensive outputs in team history. The
Steelers broke numerous offensive records, including points scored
(436), total yards (6,577), passing yards/game (301.6) and total first
downs (379).
On an individual basis in 2014, Tomlin guided QB Ben
Roethlisberger, WR Antonio Brown and RB LeVeon Bell whom
all made the Pro Bowl to record-setting years. Roethlisberger had
personal bests in passing yards (4,952), completions (408) and
passing TDs (32, T-2007), while Brown established team records
for receptions (129), receiving yards (1,698) and receiving TDs (13).
Bell, in his first full year as a starter, who was also named Team MVP,
broke the Steelers records for scrimmage yards (2,215) as well as
receptions (83) and receiving yards (854) by a running back.
Over the past three seasons, Tomlin has led the team to a 10-2
record in the month of December, winning each of the last four in
2014 to capture the AFC North title.
Arguably one of his best coaching performances may possibly
have come in the second half of the 2013 season. Despite an 0-4
and 2-6 start to the season, the Steelers finished the regular season
surging to a 6-2 second-half record, falling just short of the playoffs.
However, he rallied the team despite numerous injuries on both
sides of the ball, to stick together and finished second in the AFC
North. The 2013 campaign also saw QB Ben Roethlisberger, WR
and team WR Antonio Brown and RB LeVeon Bell break numerous
regular-season records for the Steelers. Brown and S Troy Polamalu
were each selected to the Pro Bowl following the season.
Tomlin led the Steelers to a 27-10 victory over the New York Jets
in the 2012 home opener, becoming the first coach in team history
to win his first six home openers. The Steelers finished the season
with the top-ranked overall defense (275.8 ypg) and finished first in
passing defense (185.2 ypg).
In 2011, Tomlin led the Steelers to a 12-4 record, marking the
second straight season the team posted 12 wins, which marked
only the second time in team history it has been achieved.
The Steelers finished second in total defense under Tomlin in
2010, allowing only 276.8 yards per game. Pittsburgh led the NFL
and set a team record in rushing defense, yielding only 62.8 yards
per game (1,004 yards), the third-best total in NFL history dating
back to 1970. The Steelers also established an NFL record in 2010
by not allowing an opponent to rush for more than 75 yards in any
of their first eight games during the regular season.

In all, the Steelers defense led the NFL in 2010 in rushing yards
allowed, points allowed (232), touchdowns (22), quarterback sacks
(48), rushing average (3.0), yards per play (4.5) and yards allowed
on first down (4.08).
Tomlin was a three-year starter at wide receiver at William and
Mary (1990-94) and finished his career with 101 receptions for
2,054 yards and 20 TD catches. A first-team All-Yankee Conference
selection in 1994, he established a school record with a 20.2 yardsper-catch average.

Diego inside the Chargers 20-yard line to become the third
Steelers player (fourth occasion) since 1976 to place at least
six punts inside an opponents 20-yard line in a single game
and marked the first occasion since 2000 (Josh Miller, 6, Oct.
15 vs. Cincinnati).

cut the lead 23-6, but it would be the closest the Steelers

touchdown to WR A.J. Green, and K Mike Nugent made a

the lead to 7-6, which was the halftime score.
Midway through the third quarter, K Chris Boswell connected on a 32-yard field goal to extend Pittsburghs lead
to 10-6. But it would be the final points for Pittsburgh on the
afternoon.
Both defenses forced turnovers, but neither offense could
capitalize until S Shawn Williams picked off Roethlisberger
at the Pittsburgh 45-yard line. Dalton then led the Bengals
on a six-play, 45-yard drive that he capped off with the goahead score to Green.
Pittsburgh took over but Roethlisberger threw an interception to S Reggie Nelson on the teams first play. Nugent then
made his 44-yard field goal to seal the win.
The Steelers had one last chance to win the game. Roethlisberger led the team to the Bengals 16-yard line, but his
final pass was thrown out of the end zone.

to cut the lead 7-3. Pittsburgh would take an 11-7 lead on RB
DeAngelo Williams three-yard touchdown run.
Carr threw a 15-yard touchdown to WR Amari Cooper
midway through the second quarter. Williams added another
three-yard touchdown run, and Boswell made a 38-yard field
goal to give Pittsburgh a 21-14 lead at halftime. Oakland
would tie the game 21-21 on Carrs one-yard touchdown
pass to TE Clive Walford midway through the third quarter.

WR Martavis Bryant early in the fourth quarter to give the

Nix forced a fumble that was recovered by LB Anthony
Chickillo. Roethlisberger then threw a four-yard touchdown
to TE Jesse James to give the Steelers a 35-21 lead.
Oakland tied the game after two touchdowns, one on a
19-yard run by FB Jamize Olalwale and the other on Carrs
38-yard pass to Crabtree.
On Pittsburghs final drive, QB Landry Jones, filling in
for the injured Roethlisberger, connected with WR Antonio
Brown for a 57-yard pass play to set up Boswells gamewinning kick. Brown set single-game team records in receptions (17), receiving yards (284) and scrimmage yards (306).

PITTSBURGH The Steelers overcame a 17-point deficit


to beat the Broncos 34-27 in front of a record-setting crowd
in the regular-season finale at Heinz Field. The 17-point
comeback marked the largest comeback since October 5,
1997, when the Steelers trailed the Baltimore Ravens by 21
points and came back to win 42-34.
Pittsburghs defense came up with a turnover on the Broncos first drive, as S Will Allen forced a fumble that was recovered by S Mike Mitchell. Two plays later, RB DeAngelo
Williams scored on a two-yard run to give Pittsburgh the
early 7-0 lead. But it would be all Broncos for the remainder
of the half.
QB Brock Osweiler threw three touchdowns and rushed
for another as he led the team to 27 first-half points. Osweiler connected with WR Demaryius Thomas for an 18-yard
touchdown to tie the game 7-7. Osweiler then threw a 61yard touchdown to WR Emmanuel Sanders to make it 14-7.
Osweiler scored on a seven yard run to make it 20-7.
K Chris Boswell made a 24-yard field goal midway
through the second quarter to cut the lead to 20-10, but
Osweiler threw a six-yard touchdown on Denvers ensuing
drive to give the team a 27-10 lead. Boswells 41-yard field
goal late in the second quarter made it 27-13 at halftime.
The Steelers defense shut down the Broncos in the second half, and QB Ben Roethlisberger threw three secondhalf touchdowns, two to WR Antonio Brown and one to WR
Markus Wheaton to give Pittsburgh the 34-27 victory.

BALTIMORE The Ravens stopped the Steelers on a


fourth-down attempt late in the fourth quarter to seal the 2017 victory at M&T Bank Stadium.
Baltimore scored on its first drive of the game as QB Ryan
Mallett threw an eight-yard touchdown to WR Chris Matthews. Pittsburgh cut into the lead early in the second quarter on K Chris Boswells 34-yard field goal.
Ravens K Justin Tucker made two second quarter field
goals, one from 37 yards and one from 50 yards, to give
Baltimore a 13-3 lead at halftime.
RB DeAngelo Williams scored on a one-yard run early in
the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 13-10. Early in the fourth
quarter, RB Javorius Allen extended the Ravens lead to 2010 on his three-yard touchdown run.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Williams scored his
second touchdown of the game on a two-yard run. The
Steelers defense forced the Ravens to punt on their next
possession.
Pittsburgh took over at its own 20-yard line. On fourthand-15, QB Ben Roethlisbergers pass to WR Markus
Wheaton fell incomplete, securing victory for the Ravens.

CLEVELAND, Ohio The Steelers beat the Browns, 2812, at FirstEnergy Stadium to secure the teams 10th postseason berth since 2000.
The Steelers scored first as QB Ben Roethlisberger

Pittsburgh a 7-0 lead. Browns K Travis Coons connected on
two field goals (29 and 38 yards) to cut Pittsburghs lead to
7-6.
On Pittsburghs next possession, Roethlisberger threw a
17-yard touchdown pass to WR Antonio Brown to extend
the Steelers lead to 14-6. Brown totaled 187 receiving yards
on 13 receptions in the game.
Coons made a 33-yard field goal with no time left on the
clock, and Pittsburgh led 14-9 at halftime.
K Chris Boswell made a 39-yard field goal early in the
third quarter to give Pittsburgh a 17-9 advantage. Coons
connected from 29 yards out to get the Browns within five
points, 17-12.
Pittsburghs defense though would shut out the Browns for

Pittsburgh led 15-0 after three quarters, thanks to three

The Steelers defense also forced three turnovers (one interception and two fumbles) in the first three quarters to help
give Pittsburgh the 15-point advantage.

which was recovered by CB Ross Cockrell, giving the
Steelers one more chance. Roethlisberger came back into
the game and led the team on a nine-play, 74-yard drive that
was capped off by Boswells game-winning 35-yarder.
