Not many would have predicted the Mike Tomlin-led Pittsburgh Steelers would embark on a 9-game winning streak in 2020. The AFC North big boys finished with an 8-8 record in 2019. Of course, franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was injured for the most part of that campaign.

But the return of the 38-year-old veteran has sparked some much needed ‘reinvigoration’ into the Steelers dressing. The Steelers are the only team left in the league who are yet to taste defeat heading into Week 11. Head Coach Mike Tomlin deserves all the praise he’s getting at the moment.
