Steelers are 1st team to be out-gained in each of first 9 games & still have winning record

[JohnTurney]

According to ESPN Stats & Info

"The Steelers are the first team to be out-gained in each of their first nine games and still have a winning record.

They improved to 6-3 with the win today."

They didn't qualify it -- like since the merger or since 1940 or whatever....so don't know full context. Just found it interesting

Probably since 1987 when ESPN broadcast their first NFL game ... haha

[CSKreager]

So are they last year’s Vikings?

When this note was done through eight weeks, it was since 1933 "when game by game stats were first compiled" and they cited Elias

Interesting to hear. It seems highly doubtful that any official game-by-game records exist to underpin the 1932 statistics
