What did Steelers coach Mike Tomlin say about the team?
When the final whistle blew on Saturday night, it was the third consecutive loss that the Pittsburgh Steelers had conceded and with that, their path to the postseason was made all the more complicated. To be clear, the Steelers can still make it to the playoffs, but it will require no errors and favorable results in other games. To that end, head coach Mike Tomlin was expected to be less than positive when he addressed the media post-game, but few could have expected such a frank description. “Let’s be honest, right? We are a fundamentally poor football group right now,” Tomlin said. “We’re playing losing football and I take responsibility for that. By losing football I mean we’re just not doing fundamental things well enough. We’re not.” Tomlin didn’t stop there either, as he went on to give more detailed insight as to what he believed went wrong with his team and continues to do so.
