Steelers own Monday Night games

Ben Roethlisberger is 12-6 all time on Monday night games and the Steelers as a whole are 16-7 since 2005. For some reason when the Steelers are under the lights on primetime television, you see the best come out of them.

Mike Tomlin has an overall record on Monday night of 16-4 which gives him an impressive 80% winning percentage. Last year against The Washington Football team was the first time the Steelers lost at home on Monday night in 18 games. Before that they were on a 17-game win streak. The one stat that does worry me is under Mike Tomlin, the Steelers have never beaten the Bears. I believe that will change this week.

The Steelers are set up to make a strong playoff push after starting the year 1-3. Now at 4-3, they will be going against the Bears, Lions, and Chargers in the next 3 games. At very worst they need to come out of this 3-game stretch 6-4, but should have their eyes on 7-3 because they are all winnable games.
