Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu identifies the Steelers’ final three wins to qualify for the playoffs as a result of their resilience.
The Pittsburgh Steelers demonstrated their tenacity by making the playoffs despite suffering numerous quarterback injuries, unrest among wide receivers, and a change in the coaching staff.
Following a victory against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday and a loss by the Jacksonville Jaguars to the Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh secured a postseason berth in the final week of the regular season, having won its previous three games.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu, who spoke to Fox News Digital as his commercial for Frito-Lay gets ready to air at the start of the playoffs, said the Steelers making the playoffs this season is a huge credit to coach Mike Tomlin.
“I think it’s because [of] coach Tomlin. He’s a great leader. He’s led our organization, and he’s been a winner, obviously, since he’s been the head coach of the Steelers,” he said. “I think he’s a man of great integrity. I think he holds everybody accountable to what they’re supposed to do. He’s able to connect, especially with so many different people in a locker room.”
