Pittsburgh Steelers History

The Steelers had a long history of futility before 1972, their first postseason appearance. In fact, they had only eight winning seasons prior to that season, despite being one of the oldest teams in the league. The Immaculate Reception game happened in this postseason.

During World War II, the Steelers experienced player shortages. They twice merged with other NFL franchises in order to field a team. In 1942 they merged with the Chicago Cardinals and were know as "Card-Pitt" and informally known as the "Car-Pitts" or "Carpets" (due to their ineptitude; they won no games). During the 1943 season, they merged with the Philadelphia Eagles and were known as the "Steagles".

In 1991, legendary coach Chuck Noll, who lead the Steelers to four Super Bowl victories, retired, and the Steelers hired Bill Cowher, a native of the Pittsburgh suburb of Crafton, PA who had coached special teams in Kansas City. He led the Steelers to the playoffs in each of his first six seasons as coach, a feat that had only previously been accomplished by legendary coach Paul Brown of the Browns.

It has become an article of faith among NFL pundits that the Steelers do not have a bad team two years in a row -- they have never lost 10 or more in consecutive years since the 1970 AFL- NFL Merger.

2004 season
The Steelers completed the 2004 regular season with the best record in the NFL at 15-1. Only three previous teams have 15 wins, with the Steelers being the first AFC team to accompish this feat. As a result of this dominant season, the Steelers received home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Steelers defeated the New York Jets in the Divisional Round and lost to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship.
