Compiling statistics can take hours upon hours in order to find the proper numbers. To save you the trouble, here are some of the best statistics about the Steelers, championship games, and upcoming Super Bowl published during this past week.
I will begin with a few statistics of my own before going on to other various Steeler sources. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @STLRSuperFanDad in order to get some of BTSC’s geekiest stats.
The 2018 New England Patriots are the 1st NFL team to ever reach the Super Bowl with 5 losses to non-playoff teams (Jacksonville, Detroit, Tennessee, Miami, and Pittsburgh).

There were 25 games in the NFL this season in which a team did not reach 15 rushing attempts. In those games, teams were 2–23. The only wins were Miami v. Oakland in Week 3 (14 attempts) and Pittsburgh in Jacksonville in Week 11 (11 attempts).

With the win in the 2018 AFC Championship game, Tom Brady improved his road record to 4-4 in the playoffs. His neutral-site (Super Bowl) playoff record is 5-3 while his home record is 20-3.

The visiting team in the NFC Championship game has only won 3 times when trailing at halftime: 2012 49ers, 2007 Giants, and 1998 Falcons.

It is their most since 2009, when they had 47 en route to winning Super Bowl XLIV.
Speaking of... It had been 1,904 days since Demario Davis recorded his one and only career INT (11/3/2013).#Saints #Rams
