Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are ready for "everybody's best punch" after beating the Dallas Cowboys to go 8-0.

The Steelers scored 15 fourth-quarter points in Sunday's 24-19 victory, going 8-0 for the first time in their history.

Steelers head coach Tomlin said Pittsburgh would be prepared for opponents to throw their best at them.

"We're the Pittsburgh Steelers, everybody knows what that means," he said.

"We get everybody's best punch, regardless of record. I think people respect our brand and they respect our franchise and its history. That's been my experience over 14 years here.

"Regardless of our record, people know when they are playing the Pittsburgh Steelers and a certain responsibility that comes with our reputation. We're going to get people's best shot."

Steelers star Ben Roethlisberger completed 29 of 42 passes for 306 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Cowboys.

He became the second QB in NFL history to lead his team to an 8-0 start at age 38 or older (must have started all eight games), joining Tom Brady, who did it in 2015 and 2019.

While the Steelers made history, Tomlin said he would be moving on quickly.

"It's significant as we sit here today. Once I go to work tomorrow it will be less significant," he said.

"We will be singularly focused on getting ready for our next AFC North opponent. That's life.

"I am appreciative of it but we're not going to dwell on it. We've got big time business coming up with AFC North ball."
