Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has a chance to avoid his first losing season [View all]

He's in his 16th NFL campaign. Worst he's done is 8-8 (three times).

For a while, this season looked like it would surely be Tomlin's first with a sub-.500 record. Pittsburgh was 3-7 at one point.

But they're now sitting at 7-8 and they close out the year in Baltimore and at home to Cleveland. Two winnable games.

Things have become trickier for Tomlin to maintain his streak because finishing .500 is no longer a possibility with the expansion to a 17-game season.
