Rooney still believes in his head coach

The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II is getting tired of having his club watch the Super Bowl on TV.

Unable to overcome early mistakes and the absence of star pass rusher T.J. Watt in a 31-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, the Steelers have gone seven years since last winning a playoff game. The franchise played in its NFL-leading 63rd playoff game since 1970 and is accustomed to contending for Super Bowl championships.
