The Pittsburgh Steelers secured the AFC North division title after defeating the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football at Acrisure Stadium. This marks the 25th time in team history that the Steelers have been crowned division champions, with their titles including 15 AFC Central Championships and 10 AFC North Championships since the conference realignment in 2002.
Under Coach Mike Tomlin, who was hired in 2007, this is the eighth time the team has won the AFC North. Tomlin has also led the team to a playoff berth for the 12th time and has never recorded a losing season during his tenure. The recent win was Tomlin’s 193rd regular season victory, tying him with Hall of Fame Coach Chuck Noll for both most regular season wins in franchise history and ninth place all-time in NFL regular season wins.
With this victory, the Steelers will host a home Wild Card game at Acrisure Stadium against the Houston Texans on Monday, January 12 at 8 p.m. on ESPN.
The Steelers are recognized as one of the most successful franchises in professional football, having achieved six Super Bowl championships over their history according to their official website. The organization also honors its legacy through initiatives such as its Hall of Honor and museum at Acrisure Stadium, which feature historical exhibits and artifacts related to notable figures like Terry Bradshaw and Joe Greene (official website, museum). Founded by Arthur J. Rooney Sr. in 1933 (official website), and currently overseen by Art Rooney II (official website), the franchise maintains a strong presence both on and off the field.
