Mike Tomlin: Jay Ajayi’s 200-yard game was no “lightning strike”

DAVIE–Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi won’t be surprising the Steelers or anybody else after putting up three 200-yard games this year.

While his overall season was uneven, he’s got Pittsburgh’s attention. Ajayi ran for 204 yards on the Steelers in October, and coach Mike Tomlin knows his team is at risk for another big game.

“I don’t know that we’re that much different,” he said, comparing his defense then to where it stands now. “We’re not gonna pretend like that was a lightning strike. He ran for 200 on Buffalo the second time he played those guys.
