Despite the fact the Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for a game this week against the Cincinnati Bengals, head coach Mike Tomlin had to spend a significant amount of time at his Monday press conference talking about the fight from last week.
Tomlin made it clear he didn’t want to discuss the fight because for him it was irrelevant. Ultimately, it had no impact on the final outcome of the game. But it didn’t stop Tomlin from slipping in a shot at the Browns and their head coach Freddie Kitchens before he was done.
There’s no doubt blame for the fracas at the end of the game fell on the Browns, specifically defensive end Myles Garrett. His late hit started the brawl and his assault of quarterback Mason Rudolph was the part no one is ever going to let him forget.
