Tomlin earned his 100th regular-season victory in Week 14 of 2016 at Buffalo in his 157th career regular-season games to mark the fewest games by a Steelers head coach to reach the century mark in the win column (Chuck Noll: 158 and Bill Cowher: 163).

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Steelers were victorious in the team’s2017 regular-season opener, defeating the Cleveland Browns, 21-18. Pittsburgh drew first blood when Steelers LB Tyler Matakevich blocked a Cleveland punt, which was recovered in the end zone by Steelers LB Anthony Chickillo for a touchdown early in the first quarter. Cleveland responded with a 68-yard drive that culminated in a one-yard touchdown run from QB DeShone Kizer. Begining on their own nine yard-line, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger connected with WR Antonio Brown for a 50-yard gain to aide the Steelers on a 91-yard drive that resulted in a Roethlisberger touchdown pass to TE Jesse James, giving the Steelers an advantage of 14-7 just before halftime. With a short field, Cleveland began driving in the third quarter, but an eight-yard sack from rookie LB T.J. Watt forced the Browns to settle for a field goal from K Zane Gonzalez. The Steelers increased their lead to 21-10 following a two-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to James, giving James his first career multi-touchdown performance. Cleveland found the end zone one final time when Kizer connected with Corey Coleman on a three-yard touchdown pass and followed up with a successful two-point conversion, but wasn’t able to overcome it’s deficit as Pittsburgh claimed a 21-18 victory. Brown led all receivers with 182 receiving yards, including 102 in the first half.

GAME #11PITTSBURGH 31, GREEN BAY 28

NOV. 26, 2017HEINZ FIELD (62,147)

PITTSBURGH – The Steelers sealed a 31-28 victory over Green Bay with a 53-yard field goal from K Chris Boswell - a career long and the longest field goal from a Steeler in Heinz Field history. Pittsburgh found the end zone on its opening possession for the second week in a row when QB Ben Roethlisberger connected with TE Xavier Grimble on a 1-yard touchdown pass. After an unsuccessful extra point attempt, the Packers pulled ahead 14-6 with a pair of touchdown passes from Green Bay QB Brett Hundley on back-to-back Packers' drives. Pittsburgh tied things up with a 17-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to WR Martavis Bryant, followed by a successful two-point conversion on a pass from Roethlisberger to WR Antonio Brown. But the Packers pulled ahead again on the opening drive of the second half when Green Bay WR Davante Adams broke free after a pass from Hundley, resulting in a 55-yard touchdown. An interception from Roethlisberger gave Green Bay an opportunity to increase its lead, but a pair of sacks on Hundley by Steelers DEs L.T. Walton and Cameron Heyward gave Pittsburgh the ball back. The Steelers capitalized on the ensuing drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to Brown. A second sack from Heyward on third down forced the Packers to go three-and-out on their next drive, setting up Pittsburgh to take it's first lead since the first quarter with a touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to Brown - Roethlisberger's fourth touchdown pass and Brown's second touchdown catch of the night. Once again, the Packers responded with a touchdown of their own, tying the game at 28 with 2:02 remaining in the fourth quarter. Pittsburgh was forced to punt on the following drive, but the Steelers defense kept the Packers at bay with the help of a 6-yard sack on Hundley by rookie LB T.J. Watt, which allowed the offense to get the ball back with 0:17 remaining in regulation. A diving catch by Brown on a 23-yard pass from Roethlisberger along the Steelers' sideline set up Boswell's game-winning 53-yard field goal. Brown finished the game with 10 catches for 169 yards, while RB Le'Veon Bell amassed 183 yards from scrimmage and set a Steelers record with 12 catches - the most by a running back in a single game in franchise history.
