Trivia
- The Steelers have played 14 out of a possible 17 teams in the AFC at least once in the post-season. The team never played the Seattle Seahawks in the post-season during their 25 year stay in the AFC, though the two would later meet in Super Bowl XL after the Seahawks moved to the NFC. As of 2008, the Houston Texans are the only team from the AFC the Steelers have yet to face in the playoffs.
- The Steelers hold a lifetime 9-0 record in the playoffs against divisional opponents, going 2-0 against Cleveland, 3-0 against the now defunct Houston Oilers (became Tennessee Titans), 3-0 against Baltimore, and 1-0 against Cincinnati . The Steelers would, however, later garner a loss to the Titans/Oilers franchise in the divisional round of the playoffs in 2002, the year after the Titans and Steelers were realigned into separate divisions.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
