Became aware of this stat before the game, but didn’t want to put any negative energy out, just in case there was a chance they could beat Baltimore.
Anyway, Tomlin now holds the distinction of solely being in second place, all time, among NFL coaches for having his team go one n done in the playoffs, with 8! He is just a single one n done behind only Marty Shottenhrimer, a perennial under achiever but still needed 21 seasons to get there, tied with Don Shula, who headed an NFL team for just shy of 1,000 years (actually think it was like 31 or 32, but you get the point)!
Noll, 4 in his 20+ career, Cowher twice in 15 years, and that was only in his first 2 years! After his first 2 seasons, Cowher advanced, at least one game, in every playoffs his teams qualified for!!!
This does not take into consideration the 15 years Tomlin had with a HOF QB or the margin of loss over the last 5 playoff losses!
Absolutely sad!
