Head coach Mike Tomlin began his weekly press conference by detailing his team's struggles on the four-game losing streak to close the regular season, including a 34-17 loss to Baltimore on Dec. 21. He added that those collective experiences are beneficial to learn from, saying more can be learned with failure than success.

The Steelers finished the regular season on a four-game losing streak after a fourth-quarter rally fell short, as Cincinnati kept its playoff hopes alive with a 19-17 victory Saturday night.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to manifest momentum heading into the postseason. They know that they have no chance of winning in the Wild Card Round if they dwell on their recent losses.
