Steelers' collapse is one of worst in NFL history 

Overreaction or reality: Reality

There was a time in this season the Steelers were 10-3 and en route to the AFC North title. Pittsburgh had a two-game lead over Baltimore with the head-to-head tiebreaker in hand, essentially being up three games with four to play. The Steelers didn't win another game the rest of the season. 

Pittsburgh lost to Baltimore twice during that stretch, including in the wild-card round of the playoffs. The Steelers faced five teams with winning records and lost to all five of them. The Steelers are the first 10-win team in NFL history to end the season on a five-game losing streak (including playoffs), showcasing how poor Pittsburgh has been to close out the year.

The Steelers were outscored by 52 points during that stretch, scoring just 14.3 points per game. This collapse was just as bad as the 2023 Eagles, 1999 Lions, and 1986 Jets -- all had historic skids to end the season after strong starts. 

The 2024 Steelers belong in the group of worst collapses in NFL history. They have a case to be the worst.
