www.steelers.com

MIKE TOMLIN was named the 16th head coach in PittsburghSteelers history on Jan. 22, 2007. Hired at the age of 34, Tomlinbecame only the third head coach hired by the Steelers since1969.

Tomlin became the youngest head coach in NFL history to bothcoach in and win a Super Bowl when he led the Steelers to a 27-23victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. By winningthe Super Bowl in only his second season as a head coach, healso became the fastest to win a Super Bowl title in Steelers history.

Tomlin is one of only seven coaches in league history to win aSuper Bowl within his first two seasons as an NFL head coach.

Tomlin has compiled a 34-18 record in the regular seasonduring his four-year head coaching career. His .654 winningpercentage after three-plus seasons is second-best in teamhistory. By leading the Steelers to a 9-7 record in 2009, Tomlinbecame only the second Steelers’ head coach to post winningrecords after each of his first three seasons.

The Steelers’ offense ranked seventh in the NFL (ninth passing,19th rushing) and became the first unit in team history to boast a4,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard receivers and a 1,000-yardrusher in the same season. Pittsburgh’s defense ranked fifth inthe NFL (third vs. run, 16th vs. pass) while leading the AFC andfinishing one shy of the NFL lead with 47 quarterback sacks.

The Steelers continued to be dominant at Heinz Field underTomlin in 2009. Pittsburgh finished with a 6-2 home record in2009 after finishing 7-1 (2007) and 6-2 (2008) at home duringTomlin’s first two seasons. Tomlin’s 20-5 record and .800 winningpercentage at home after three-plus seasons ranks second inSteelers’ history.

The Steelers’ defense was dominant under Tomlin’s guidancein 2008, leading the NFL in total defense (237.2), pass defense(156.9), points per game (13.9), total yards per play (3.9), rushingyards per attempt (3.3), passing yards per attempt (4.7) and thirddown efficiency (31.4), and finished second in league rushingdefense (80.3).

Tomlin became only the second Steelers head coach to win hisfirst three games. During 2007, the Steelers became just the fifthteam in NFL history to win their first four home games by at least20 points.

Tomlin led the Steelers to a 10-6 record in 2007, and becamejust the second coach in team history to post a winning record,win a division title and earn a playoff berth in his inaugural season.

Tomlin was the NFL’s second-youngest head coach in 2007,and he became only the second Steelers coach in team history towin at least 10 games during his first year at the helm. TheSteelers posted a 7-1 record at home in 2007 and were 5-1 in theAFC North (3-0 at home).

Tomlin was a three-year starter at wide receiver at William andMary (1990-94) and finished his career with 101 receptions for2,046 yards and a school-record 20 TD catches. A first-team All-Yankee Conference selection in 1994, he established a schoolrecord with a 20.2 yards-per-catch average.

NASHVILLE — The Steelers improved to 2-0 on the year with adominating defensive performance against the Tennessee Titans at LPField. The Steelers’ 19-11 victory was only the second win for the Steelersin 10 tries in the state of Tennessee.

The Steelers wasted no time scoring, using a little trickery to return theopening kickoff for a touchdown. RB Mewelde Moore took the ball atthe two-yard line and handed it off to rookie WR Antonio Brown, whotook it 89 yards for the touchdown. In his first career game, Brownbecame the first Steelers rookie to return a kick for a touchdown sinceWR Antwaan Randle El returned a 99-yard kickoff in 2002.

Two drives later, the Titans marched 39 yards to the Steelers two-yardline before K Rob Bironas connected from 21 yards out and cut the lead7-3.

Theinterception was the first of four turnovers the Steelers forced in the firsthalf. On the ensuing drive K Jeff Reed connected from 36 yards out toput the Steelers up 10-3. RB Chris Johnson’s fumble allowed the Steelersto capitalize right before halftime, and Reed connected from 34 yards outto put the Steelers up 13-3.

Neither team scored in the third quarter, and after Young committed hisfourth turnover of the game he was pulled for QB Kerry Collins. CBBryant McFadden picked off Collins on his second pass attempt. Reedconnected from 25 and 27 yards out in the fourth quarter, his third andfourth field goals of the game and the Steelers were up 19-3.

The Titans made it interesting late in the fourth quarter. Collins foundWR Nate Washington for a two-yard touchdown and WR Kenny Britt forthe two-point conversion. The Titans recovered their onside kick attemptand were in Steelers’ territory, but the defense stopped the Titans at the41-yard line as time expired.

Though the Steelers couldn’t get their offense going, (127 total yards)the defense forced seven turnovers (four fumbles, three interceptions)and held Johnson to only 34 yards rushing. LB James Harrison hadtwo sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

PITTSBURGH — QB Joe Flacco found WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh foran 18-yard touchdown pass with 36 seconds left in the game to beat thePittsburgh Steelers 17-14 at Heinz Field. The Steelers fell to 3-1 headinginto their bye week, while the Ravens improved to 3-1 with the victory.

A missed 46-yard field goal by K Billy Cundiff set up the Steelers firstscore in the game. QB Charlie Batch led the Steelers on a seven-play,52-yard drive that was capped off by a one-yard touchdown run by RBRashard Mendenhall.

The Ravens marched 78 yards on eight plays on their first drive of thesecond quarter. RB Willis McGahee scored from nine yards out to tie thegame at 7-7. The Ravens capitalized on the Steelers offensive strugglesand took a 10-7 halftime lead on Cundiff’s 36-yard field goal as timeexpired.

The Steelers defense turned up the heat in the third quarter forcing twoturnovers. LB James Harrison forced a McGahee fumble that put theSteelers at the Raven’s 27-yard line. But Batch was sacked for a seven-yard loss on third down, and K Jeff Reed’s 49-yard field goal attempt hitthe right crossbar.

Near the end of the third quarter CB Ike Taylor picked off Flacco, andthe Steelers took over at the Baltimore 33-yard line. The Steelers thoughcould not move the ball and Reed’s 45-yard field goal try went wide left.

The Steelers forced the Ravens to punt on their ensuing drive and tookover at their own seven-yard line. The Steelers marched the ball 93 yardson 13 plays to set up Mendenhall’s seven-yard touchdown run, his secondof the day. Mendenhall finished with 25 carries for 79 yards and twotouchdowns.

On Baltimore’s next drive, the Steelers defense stopped them on afourth-and-goal from the two-yard line, and it appeared the Steelers couldrun out the clock. However, the Steelers committed two false-start penaltiesand did not get a first down. After a Daniel Sepulveda punt, the Ravenstook over at the Steelers’ 40-yard line.

The Steelers offense really struggled to move the ball against the Ravensdefense. For the first time all season the Steelers had less than 100 yardsrushing and the 126 passing yards are the second-lowest total in the lasttwo seasons.
