Despite that, the Steelers clinched the final wild card spot, making the playoffs for the second consecutive year. The team would lose to the Kansas City Chiefs 27–24 in overtime in the AFC Wild Card Round
Logos and uniforms of the Pittsburgh Steelers appear on the front of the throwback helmets. The Steelers re-introduced gold helmets in 2007, paired with their 1962 throwback uniforms. The gold helmets featured the current Steelers logo rather than the original version of the Steelmark that was worn in 1962, and were also paired with black facemasks.

The Steelers have made only a few changes to their jerseys over the years. Originally, the team had vertically-striped jerseys
