On Saturday, Nov. 14, the Alumni Weekend Dinner Heinz Field highlighted the Super Bowl XL team. The annual event benefitted the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program and Cancer Caring Center. At halftime of the Steelers’ game the following day against the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field, members of the Super Bowl XL championship team were introduced on the stadium field and recnognized for their achievement in capturing the team’s fifth of six Lombardi trophies. Former Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jerome Bettis was honored for his illustrious career as one of the NFL’s most prolific running backs as he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015, and was enshrined on Saturday, August 8, at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. He was honored during the team’s Thursday Night Football game in Week 4 against Baltimore during a special ring ceremony. Bettis played in 192 regular-season games in his 13-year career, spending his first three years with the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams and the final 10 with the Steelers. The Detroit native registered the sixth-most rushing yards (13,662) in NFL history. Bettis eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark in 61 games during the regular season and three times in the postseason, compiling a 47-17 record in those contests. He recorded 78 rushing touchdowns as a member of the Steelers during the regular season, the second-most in franchise history behind Hall of Famer Franco Harris (91). In all, Bettis led his team in rushing 11 seasons, three with the Rams and eight with the Steelers. His eight 1,000-plus yard seasons tied for third-best in the NFL when he retired. Bettis was named to six Pro Bowls, voted first team All-Pro twice, second team All-Pro once and was the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year in 1996. In 10 years in Pittsburgh, Bettis helped the Steelers reach four AFC Championship games and win Super Bowl XL in 2005, finishing his career with a victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Before he came to Pittsburgh in 1996 and recorded 1,431 rushing yards in his first season, the Steelers had only one 1,000+ yard rusher in the previous 12 seasons.

The “On the Fifty” platform is designed to link the past 49 Super Bowls with this year’s game and honor the teams, players, coaches, fans and communities that have been a part of those games.

The Steelers’ first Super Bowl rematch of the 2015 season came in Week 3, when the team faced the Rams in St. Louis - a rematch of Super Bowl XIV in which Pittsburgh defeated the then Los Angeles Rams, 31-19, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. In Week 6, Pittsburgh hosted the Arizona Cardinals at Heinz Field, pitting the two Super Bowl XLIII participants against one another. At Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., the Steelers were victorious over the Cardinals, 27-23. The team’s third Super Bowl rematch of 2015 took place in Week 12 when the Steelers faced the Seattle Seahawks in a road game. The two teams faced off in Super Bowl XL in Detroit, Mich., resulting in a 2110 win for Pittsburgh.

THE TOMLIN FILE THE TOMLIN FILE CONT’D Mike Tomlin was named the 16th head coach in Pittsburgh Steelers history on Jan. 22, 2007. Hired at the age of 34, Tomlin became only the third head coach hired by the Steelers since 1969. Tomlin became the youngest head coach in NFL history to both coach in and win a Super Bowl when he led the Steelers to a 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. By winning the Super Bowl in only his second season as a head coach, he also became the fastest to win a Super Bowl title in Steelers’ history. Through eight seasons, Tomlin has accomplished many things that have never been done in the team’s storied history. His 82-46 record (.641) is best start in franchise history. He has guided the Steelers’ defense to the NFL’s top ranking in total defense four times, including most recently in 2012. He has also sent a total of 45 selections to the league’s annual Pro Bowl, including five following the 2014 season. Tomlin has reached the playoffs five times in his first eight seasons, including two trips to the Super Bowl (winning Super Bowl XLIII). Tomlin is one of only seven coaches in league history to win a Super Bowl within his first two seasons as an NFL head coach. Tomlin is the only head coach in Steelers history to lead the team to two Super Bowls in his first four seasons at the helm, including an appearance against the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV. He is one of only two Steelers’ head coaches to win three division titles in his first four seasons. Tomlin was appointed by Commisioner Roger Goodell to the NFL’s Competition Committee in March, 2013. In 2014, Tomlin, who has a defensive coaching background, orchestrated one of the top offensive outputs in team history. The Steelers broke numerous offensive records, including points scored (436), total yards (6,577), passing yards/game (301.6) and total first downs (379). On an individual basis in 2014, Tomlin guided QB Ben Roethlisberger, WR Antonio Brown and RB Le’Veon Bell – whom all made the Pro Bowl – to record-setting years. Roethlisberger had personal bests in passing yards (4,952), completions (408) and passing TDs (32, T-2007), while Brown established team records for receptions (129), receiving yards (1,698) and receiving TDs (13). Bell, in his first full year as a starter, who was also named Team MVP, broke the Steelers’ records for scrimmage yards (2,215) as well as receptions (83) and receiving yards (854) by a running back. Over the past two seasons, Tomlin has led the team to a 7-1 record in the month of December, winning each of the last four in 2014 to capture the AFC North title. Arguably one of his best coaching performances may possibly have come in the second half of the 2013 season. Despite an 0-4 and 2-6 start to the season, the Steelers finished the regular season surging to a 6-2 second-half record, falling just short of the playoffs. However, he rallied the team despite numerous injuries on both sides of the ball, to stick together and finished second in the AFC North. The 2013 campaign also saw QB Ben Roethlisberger, WR and team WR Antonio Brown and RB Le’Veon Bell break numerous regular-season records for the Steelers. Brown and S Troy Polamalu were each selected to the Pro Bowl following the season. Tomlin led the Steelers to a 27-10 victory over the New York Jets in the 2012 home opener, becoming the first coach in team history to win his first six home openers. The Steelers finished the season with the top-ranked overall defense (275.8 ypg) and finished first in passing defense (185.2 ypg). In 2011, Tomlin led the Steelers to a 12-4 record, marking the second straight season the team posted 12 wins, which marked only the second time in team history it has been achieved. The Steelers finished second in total defense under Tomlin in 2010, allowing only 276.8 yards per game. Pittsburgh led the NFL and set a team record in rushing defense, yielding only 62.8 yards per game (1,004 yards), the third-best total in NFL history dating back to 1970. The Steelers also established an NFL record in 2010 by not allowing an opponent to rush for more than 75 yards in any of their first eight games during the regular season. In all, the Steelers defense led the NFL in 2010 in rushing yards allowed, points allowed (232), touchdowns (22), quarterback sacks (48), rushing average (3.0), yards per play (4.5) and yards allowed on first down (4.08). Tomlin was a three-year starter at wide receiver at William and Mary (1990-94) and finished his career with 101 receptions for 2,054 yards and 20 TD catches. A first-team All-Yankee Conference selection in 1994, he established a school record with a 20.2 yardsper-catch average. www.steelers.com TOMLIN BY THE NUMBERS 1ST Only one head coach in Steelers history - Mike Tomlin - has led the team to two Super Bowl appearences in their first four seasons. 3RD Tomlin became the third head coach hired by the Steelers since 1969 on Jan. 22, 2007. 5 Number of times the Steelers’ defense has ranked first in total defense in the NFL under Tomlin, most recently in 2012.
