The Pittsburgh Steelers need just three more victories to guarantee a 19th straight season without a losing record with Coach Mike Tomlin at the helm. Crucially, having reached a 6-4 record for the 2025 NFL season, they now lead the challenging AFC North as Week 12 approaches.
Although they lost starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers during Sunday's home matchup against the Bengals, they secured a 34-12 win, bolstered in the second half by Backup Mason Rudolph.
That win ensured the surging rival Ravens won't take over the division lead, with Pittsburgh and Baltimore still set to play each other twice (Week 14 and Week 17) in the final month of the season.
