For Mike Tomlin, the easy decision would have been to stick with Justin Fields. The Pittsburgh Steelers were 4-2. Most head coaches mindlessly stick to the status quo when winning games.
We should now understand that Tomlin is a good coach for a reason.
Tomlin went to Russell Wilson, and Wilson played well as the Steelers set season highs in yards and points against a Allegedly talented New York Jets defense. They’re 5-2 and while that’s a surprise, the Steelers’ foundation is strong, as always. The Steelers still have to fight a busy schedulealthough it seems a little easier now with the The Cleveland Browns are collapsing.
We should assume Tomlin will push the right buttons and the Steelers won’t go anywhere this season. This shouldn’t come as a surprise at this point.
