Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin spoke to the media on Tuesday and based on what has happened the last two weeks, he had plenty to answer for. Tomlin picked and chose which questions he wanted to elaborate on, and in some cases, he pled ignorance completely.
One of the more controversial issues from the team’s loss to the Buffalo Bills was the comments made by some Bills players after the game that they were fired up to play a little harder because of the pregame TikTok dance Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster did on the Bills logo.
Tomlin told the media this was the first he had heard of this. He also quickly fired back that he didn’t believe NFL players need extra motivation to play hard.
I don’t know how many of you believe Tomlin didn’t know about any of this but I find it hard to believe. After everything this team went through with guys like Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell if Tomlin wasn’t aware of what Smith-Schuster did and the Buffalo reaction, he isn’t doing his job as the head coach of this football team.
