The Pittsburgh Steelers last won a playoff game on January 15, 2017, against the Kansas City Chiefs, with Chris Boswell scoring six field goals. Following that victory, Antonio Brown's Facebook Live video from the locker room, which included a broadcast of coach Mike Tomlin's postgame speech, is believed to be a turning point for the team.
