Little Known Fact Bodes Well for this Sunday

[NorthCoast]

In the last 30 years, the Steelers have never lost a game on Oct. 23rd.

!!!!

Wow. So you managed to dig up the last time they lost on Oct 23rd, and it was 31 years ago? Impressive!

Pats should just stay home we got this

For all you chemistry nerds out there, October 23rd is Mole Day, celebrating Avogadro's number (6.02 X 10 to the 23rd power, which is the number of molecules in one mole of a substance...hence, the choice of 10/23 as the date).

It's a really big number...to put it in gambling terms that football fans would be more familiar with...there is approximately a 1 in 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance that Landry Jones outduels Tom Brady this weekend.

Ok so in the last 30 years the Steelers have played maybe twice on October 23rd. Really reaching for straws on this one

that's odd... you'd think once every 7 years (though leap year is a factor)... throw in byes and I could see 4-5 games happening on that date... guess they get MNF that week every year.

[The Man of Steel]

To date, Antonio Brown has never caught a touchdown pass from anyone other than Ben.
