The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t won a playoff game in seven years. That fact irks Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt.
During an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio on March 22, Watt expressed a strong disdain over the team’s 0-4 playoff record during his career.
“Obviously, didn’t go the way we wanted in the end,” Watt said of the 2023 season, via Steelers Depot’s Jeremy Pike. “This is my seventh year, this past season. To not win a playoff game is embarrassing and not how we do things in Pittsburgh.”
The seven-year playoff win drought is the longest in franchise history since the Steelers won their first postseason game in 1972.
Pittsburgh’s last playoff victory came against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional round of the 2016-17 season. The following offseason, the Steelers drafted Watt in the first round. Interestingly, the Chiefs traded up for quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the same draft.
