Mike Tomlin’s streak of not having a losing season lives on. With the win over the Browns on Monday night, Tomlin became the first head coach in NFL history to have a non-losing record in each of his first 15 seasons. The Steelers currently sit at 8-7-1 as they head into the regular-season final against the Ravens on Sunday in Baltimore.

The Steelers also haven’t had a losing season since 2003, which is by far the longest streak in the league. It also means that Ben Roethlisberger will have no losing seasons during his tenure.

During his weekly Tuesday press conference, Tomlin was asked if not having a losing season in 15 years was a meaningful accomplishment to him, and he responded by saying that making the playoffs is more significant.

“Not as I sit here today, and I say that humbly,” Tomlin said, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN. “Our agenda, this year, is to get into single elimination tournament and then pit our skills against others in that single elimination tournament in an effort to win the World Championship. That’s our mentality every year. And so with that mentality, it’s just certain hardware that you expect to pick up along the way. And if you don’t, you’d be seriously disappointed. That’s just an expectation that we have here in Pittsburgh.”
