In contrast with their status as perennial also-rans in the pre-merger NFL, where they were characterized by their storied “Steel Curtain” defense, Pittsburg has posted 16 NFL postseason victories, most all-time among AFC teams. They share the record for second most Super Bowl appearances with New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys (eight), and trails only the Green Bay Packers (13) for the most Super Bowl wins (six). The Steelers have won more division championships (23) than any other team that has been members of the AFC North since its creation in 2002. The Steelers also made history in 2007 by becoming the first team ever to defeat all of its divisional opponents twice during a single season.
