The Steelers set a new NFL record with 21 consecutive non-losing seasons following their victory over the Bengals.
The Cowboys, led by Tom Landry, established a record during the 1960s to 1980s.
The Steelers have not experienced losing records in the past 21 seasons.
The Steelers secured their ninth win of the season with a 44-38 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, thanks to Russell Wilson's impressive performance of 414 yards and three touchdowns.
The Steelers have finished at or above the .500 mark for 21 straight seasons, tying an NFL record with the Dallas Cowboys. They have had a winning year in 18 consecutive seasons under head coach Mike Tomlin, with the other three seasons being under Pro Football Hall of Famer Bill Cowher.
From 1965 to 1985, the Cowboys had 21 consecutive winning seasons under the leadership of Tom Landry.
Since the 2007 season, Tomlin has been the head coach of the Steelers and has one Super Bowl title on his resume. He has an all-time record of 182-103-2.
"Tomlin stated after the game that he believed our group, especially quarterback Russell Wilson, smiled in the face of the challenge. Although it was Wilson's first time facing AFC North football, he seemed to adapt well. Wilson's performance today placed him in the history of this series."
Since 2003, the Steelers have not had a losing record. In 2004, they drafted Ben Roethlisberger and their defense helped them to a 15-1 season. They won the Super Bowl in 2005 under Cowher.
The Steelers' victory over Cincinnati gave them a commanding lead in the AFC North, while the Ravens' loss to the Eagles will leave them at least one game behind the Steelers in the win column.
