STREAKING STEELERS: The Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday recorded their sixth consecutive win on Kickoff Weekend, becoming the first team since the Miami Dolphins from 1992-02 (11 in a row) to win six season openers in a row. This week, the Steelers travel to Cleveland for an AFC North matchup with the Browns and seek to extend another streak.

The Steelers have won nine consecutive games against Cleveland, tying them with three other clubs in such a streak. With a win, they would hold first place in the category.

The longest current win streaks against an opponent:

TEAMS CONSECUTIVE WINS
BUFFALO vs. Cincinnati 9
NEW ENGLAND vs. Buffalo 9
PITTSBURGH vs. Cleveland 9
SAN DIEGO vs. Oakland 9

The title of this thread should be "Steelers WILL make history Sunday".

Wow. Has it been that long. I can remember there was a while there under Cowher where we never won an opening day game.

As for the Browns streak, it is going to keep on growing!

[Smooth Criminal]

I would love to see the Browns streak extended for the rest of Ben's career.

That'd be cool ... and against the Clowns, too! http://cococokie.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/clown1-smiley.gif

As for the Browns streak, it is going to keep on growing!hee hee You said Brown streak.

It seems like the Jags have a (fill in date they started in the league) long streak against us.

[Super Dave]

Jeff Reed beat the Jags

I'll never forget the look on Tom Coughlins face......

It seems like the Jags have a (fill in date they started in the league) long streak against us.

I can remember we beat them in a nail biter a couple of seasons ago.

and when was this?

[steelreeling]

So the Clowns can become our bitch more than Sand Diego pwns Oakland huh? Cool.

[Far51]

as long as ee control Rogers & Williams, Ben should pick thier hampered secondary apart

[CoSteelrgrl]

and when was this?
Prior to us opening the season against Cleveland, I believe.

[JohnnyO]

Cleveland has as much chance of winning this game as I do of seeing a skinny girl get out of a car with Ohio plates at the Fire Mountain buffet in Chippewa.

Ben could have another primetime performance like he did last year against the Ravens if the Steelers choose to attack this weak secondary.

[JEFFRO]

and when was this?

1993 Pittsburgh 13 SF 24
1994 Pittsburgh 9 Dallas 26
1996 Pittsburgh 9 Jax 24
1997 Pittsburgh 7 Dallas 37

2000 Pittsburgh 0 Baltisore 16
2001 Pittsburgh 3 Jax 21
2002 Pittsburgh 14 NE 30

Except for 1995 that was a pretty long streak.

Bill Cowher's Steelers opening day streak really didn't start until the 2003 season.

I can remember we beat them in a nail biter a couple of seasons ago.

Ben's rookie year. He drove to the winning field goal then Leftwich drove them to a missed FG right after with only seconds left, if I remember correctly.

Since then - 05 the Maddox meltdown in OT

06 - Ben's first game after the appendectomy

07 - The "damn I sure do miss Aaron Smith" medley of home defeats.

Can't wait to get back at them, the Chargers, the Pats, and many others this year!!!

[Bclower]

hey lets get some baby wipes and just beat the stains huh ? DOMINATION! Can't wait to see this primetime game!!!!!!!
