·       *MIKE TOMLIN **continues to rewrite the record books in Pittsburgh becoming the only head coach in Steelers' history to win division titles in his first two seasons as he established a franchise record with 22 wins in that time. The Steelers secured the second seed in the AFC, captured the AFC North Division title for the second year in a row, and posted a 6-0 record within their division as part of their 12-4 record. Under Tomlin's leadership, the Steelers led the NFL in total defense, pass defense, scoring defense and finished second in rush defense. The defense was bolstered by the team's 51 sacks, including James Harrison's team-record 16. The Steelers offense included QB Ben Roethlisberger's air attack passing for 3,301 yards and 17 touchdowns. Tomlin was nominated for three Motorola NFL Coach of the Week awards, winning all three.
