The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost seven straight playoff games with Monday night’s 30-6 defeat against the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh was throttled 30-6 in Monday night’s Wild Card round loss at Acrisure Stadium<\/a> as Houston’s top-ranked defense has two touchdowns and sacked Aaron Rodgers four times.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh hasn’t won a playoff game since 2017, losing seven straight postseason contests over the last ten seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the 2016-17 NFL season, the Steelers defeated the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs before losing to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since then, Pittsburgh has lost an additional six playoffs games, three of which were home games at Acrisure Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the loss against Houston, the Steelers’ streak of 23 straight home victories on “Monday Night Football”<\/a> has come to an end. It was the first Monday Night Football home loss for Mike Tomlin.<\/p>\n

Tomlin’s seven-game postseason losing streak has tied former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis for the longest playoff losing streak by an NFL coach. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“When you don’t get it done, words are cheap,” Tomlin said after the game. “It’s about what you do or you don’t do. I appreciate the question, but people talk too much in our business. You either do or you don’t.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost seven straight playoff games with Monday night’s 30-6 defeat against the Houston Texans.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85286,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[8206,303,6516,4849,73,75,74,1833],"class_list":["post-85285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-acrisure-stadium","tag-football","tag-houston-texans","tag-national-football-league","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-pittsburgh-steelers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85285"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85285\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
