The Pittsburgh Steelers are the model of consistency.
The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't won a playoff game since the 2016 season, but they have been the model of consistency in the regular season.
According to Pro Football Talk, the Steelers are two wins away from having a winning season for the 22nd consecutive year.
"The Steelers haven't finished with a losing record since 2003, and with four games to go this season, they're currently 7-6," PFT wrote. "With two more wins, they'll clinch a winning season, and set a new NFL record in the process. Pittsburgh's current streak of 21 consecutive seasons finishing .500 or better is tied for the longest streak in NFL history. The Cowboys also had 21 straight seasons finishing .500 or better from 1965 to 1985. If the Steelers finish this season at .500 or better, they'll make it 22 years in a row and have the record to themselves."
The Steelers have four games left in the regular season. They face the Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens.
Many Pittsburgh fans want head coach Mike Tomlin fired after this season due to the lack of playoff success. After this season, Tomlin's contract will have two years remaining -- 2026 and a team option in 2027.
The Steelers must decide whether to pick up the option on Tomlin's contract by March 1, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN.
"Man, I've been in the hot seat for 19 years," Tomlin said this week. "I always feel like I got something to prove. Not necessarily to anyone in particular, but that's just the spirit in which I go about what I do professionally."
There will be organizational meetings and decisions that occur, but not until after this season, with a full body of work for all appropriate parties to review, per Schefter. It's worth noting that nobody in the Steelers' organization nor around the NFL expects Pittsburgh to fire Tomlin.
After all, the Steelers haven't fired a head coach since 1968.
