With even some national media calling for Mike Tomlin to be fired, the Steelers coach will meet the media at noon today and will face some tough questions about one of the poorest performances a Tomlin-led Steelers team has ever had. The offense was terrible and the defense was worse in Sunday’s 26-7 loss to Buffalo. Still, the Steelers are tied with the Ravens at the top of the AFC North standings heading into this Sunday’s game at Baltimore.
In the locker room yesterday, the players were at a loss to explain how bad they were against the Bills. Rookie linebacker Jack Sawyer says the only answer he sees is hard work.
Sawyer may be a rookie, but he already knows about playing in the tough AFC North.
In the NFL last night, New England became the first 11-win team in the league with a 33-15 win over the New York Giants.
Fan voting began last Thursday for the Pro Bowl and continues through December 15th. Five Steelers are in the top ten at their positions in the early polling. TJ Watt is fourth among edge rushers in the NFL, second in the AFC; Chris Boswell is tenth overall and 7th in the AFC among kickers; Jalen Ramsey is eighth overall and third in the AFC at free safety; Ben Skowronek is second overall and first in the AFC in special teams; and Connor Heyward is fifth overall, third in the AFC at fullback.
