51ST YEAR AT SAINT VINCENT
COLLEGE
The Steelers celebrated their 51st Training Camp at Saint
Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa.,
this summer.
Pittsburgh has called Saint Vincent College its “summer home”
since 1966.
Through their first three decades in the NFL, the Steelers
held their training camps at a
variety of locations, as far east as
New England and as far west as
Wisconsin. In 1966, for the third
straight summer, training camp for
the Steelers was at the University
of Rhode Island.
The team was there through the
first four weeks of a five-game preseason schedule. Then, after
a loss in Green Bay to Vince Lombardi’s Packers, Coach Bill
Austin wanted the team closer to Pittsburgh because the 1966
regular season was due to open with a home game against the
New York Giants on Sept. 11.
With no practice fields of their own at the time, the Steelers
turned to Saint Vincent College. The team arrived in Latrobe on
Aug. 29 and spent a couple of weeks on campus going through
final preparations for the 1966 regular season.
In 1967, the Steelers conducted their entire training camp at
Saint Vincent College.
CAMPING OUT
The Steelers concluded their 51st consecutive year of preseason training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa.
Pittsburgh’s 51-year tenure at the college is tied with the
Minnesota Vikings (Mankato, Minn.), for second in the NFL for
training camp longevity.
Only the Green Pay Packers, who have held their preseason
camp at St. Norbert College in DePere, Wisc., have maintained
a longer summer home for 59 years.

STEELERS IN THE PRESEASON
121-112-1
Pittsburgh owns a 121-112-1 all-time record in the
preseason.
GREENE AND DUNGY TO THE
HALL OF FAME
Former Steelers linebacker Kevin Greene, and safety and defensive coordinator Tony Dungy were elected to the Pro Football
Hall of Fame Class of 2016, and were enshrined on Saturday,
August 6, at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.
Greene played in 228 games over the course of 15 seasons
for the Los Angeles Rams (1985-92), the Pittsburgh Steelers
(1993-95), the Carolina Panthers (1996, 1998-99) and the San
Francisco 49ers (1997). He was a three-time first-team All-Pro
(1989, 1994 and 1996) and a five-time Pro Bowler (1989, 199496 and 1998).
Greene ranks third all-time in NFL history with 160.0 sacks.
He recorded double-digit sacks in a single season 10 times, and
he led the NFL in sacks twice (1994 and 1996). He was named
to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 1990s.
As a member of the Steelers, Greene recorded 35.5 sacks
in three seasons. His 35.5 sacks in a three-year span are the
second-most sacks in any three-year span in Steelers’ history.
Dungy played for the Steelers from 1977-78, and was a
member of the team’s Super Bowl XXIII team. He returned to
Pittsburgh in 1981 as the team’s defensive backs coach, before
being elevated to defensive coordinator in 1984. At the time, he
was the NFL’s youngest defensive coordinator.

THE LAST TIME VS. NEW ORLEANS
New Orleans 35, Pittsburgh 32
Nov. 30, 2014
Heinz Field (61,916)
PITTSBURGH - Saints QB Drew Brees threw five touchdown
passes to lift his team to a 35-32 victory against the Steelers at Heinz
Field.
The Steelers dominated time of possession for the first quarter
and a half but only managed to put six points on the board
thanks to K Shaun Suisham’s 49 and 31-yard makes.
Midway through the second quarter, Brees connected with TE
Benjamin Watson for a 15-yard touchdown. And with less than one
minute remaining in the half, Brees threw a four-yard touchdown
pass to FB Erik Lorig to give the Saints a 14-6 lead heading into the break.
New Orleans scored on their first drive of the second half as
Brees found WR Nick Toon for an 11-yard touchdown. Pittsburgh’s
ensuing drive ended with a one-yard touchdown run by RB Le’Veon
Bell to cut the Saints’ lead 21-13. Bell recorded a career-best 159
receiving yards and totaled a career-high 254 yards from scrimmage.
But on the Saints’ next possession, Brees threw a 69-yard
touchdown pass to WR Kenny Stills to give New Orleans a 28-13
advantage at the end of the third quarter.
Suisham connected on a 47-yarder early in the fourth quarter
to cut the lead to 28-16. But Brees led his team right down the field
and threw a three-yard touchdown pass to WR Marques Colston
to give New Orleans a 35-16 lead.
QB Ben Roethlisberger connected with WR Antonio Brown
on a four-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter, and then
the two connected again on a three-yard score as time expired.
Roethlisberger threw for a game-high 435 yards and set the
team’s single-game record with 58 pass attempts.

GOOD FIRST NINE
In his first nine seasons as the head coach of the Steelers,
Mike Tomlin has an extensive list of accomplishments.
Tomlin earned his 90th regular-season victrory in Week 14 of
2015 at Cincinnati and closed out his ninth season with 92 wins
following the team’s Week 17 victory at Cleveland.
His 92 wins in his first nine seasons are the most wins in team
history for any coach after his first nine campaigns and his two
Super Bowl appearances also are tied for the franchise best for
a coach in his first nine seasons.
Tomlin’s six postseason berths are tied as the most in a coach’s
first nine seasons with the Steelers and his four division titles are
third-most.
Below is how Tomlin ranks among Steelers’ coaches in their
first nine seasons:

two catches in Week 2.
Sparked Pittsburgh’s offense a 72-yard touchdown catch that

WHEATON’S CAREER DAY
WR Markus Wheaton led all players with single-game careerhighs of nine receptions and 201 receiving yards in Week 12 at
Seattle in 2015. He became the sixth player in Steelers history
to reach 200 receiving yards in a single game and the second
player to register 200 yards vs. Seattle in NFL history (245 Wes
Chandler, Sept. 15, 1985).
His 201 receiving yards marked the most by any player in
CenturyLink Field history since the stadium opened in 2002 (186,
Anquan Boldin, Nov. 16, 2008).
In the third quarter, Wheaton scored on a 69-yard catch-andrun touchdown, his second touchdown catch of 2015 to match a
single-season career-high (2 in 2014).
Wheaton caught five passes for 103 receiving yards in the
first half. His five catches tied as the most in any half in his NFL
career, third occasion, and his 103 yards are a career-high for
any half (72, Oct. 12, 2015 at San Diego).
JONES’ DEBUT FOR THE AGES
QB Landry Jones led the Steelers to a 25-13 come-frombehind victory in Week 6 vs. Arizona in 2015 after entering the

Completed 8-of-12 passes for 168 yards with two
touchdowns for a passer rating of 149.3.
•
He connected with WR Martavis Bryant for both
touchdowns, one coming from eight yards and the other
from 88 yards. The 88-yard touchdown is tied for the
eighth-longest pass play in team history.
•
His 149.3 passer rating is the second-highest for an NFL
quarterback in their first career game (min. 10 attempts)
behind only Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota’s 158.3 in 2015.
Jones made his first career NFL start in Week 7 at Kansas
City in 2015, and completed 16-of-29 passing for 209 yards with
a touchdown.
In Week 9 vs. Oakland in 2015, Jones entered the game in
relief of injured QB Ben Roethlisberger in the fourth quarter
and completed 4-of-6 passes for 79 yards, including a 57-yarder
to WR Antonio Brown to set up the game-winning field goal.
Jones made his first career home start in the regular season in
Week 10 vs. Cleveland in 2015 and completed 3-of-4 passes for
23 yards before leaving the game in the first quarter due to injury.
He became the eighth Steelers quarterback in the Super
Bowl era to earn a win in his first career home start. (Dennis
Dixon: Sept. 12, 2010 vs. Atlanta, Charlie Batch: Nov. 13, 2005
vs. Cleveland, Ben Roethlisberger: Oct. 3, 2004 vs. Cincinnati,

A LAND DOWN IN THE 20 IN 2015
P Jordan Berry signed with the Steelers on April 14, 2015,
and performed all of the team’s punting duties on the season.
He landed 28 of his 59 punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard
line during the season. Berry’s 47.5 percentage mark of his punts
pinning opponents inside the 20 ranked third-best in the NFL in
2015 and is the best by a Steeler in a season since the stat was
first tracked in 1976 (minimum 10 punts):

game and marked the first occasion since 2000 (Josh Miller,
6, Oct. 15 vs. Cincinnati).
•
Against Denver in Week 15, pinned the Broncos inside their
20-yard line on four of six punts.
