Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin doesn't want the team's recent travel troubles to be an "excuse" of any kind.
"As we move away from it, we talk less about it because I don't want it to be an excuse in any way or some galvanizing thing in any way," Tomlin told reporters Tuesday, per Mark Kaboly of The Athletic.
"There is nothing mystical about performance. We work, we prepare, we step into stadiums and we prepare."
The Steelers were forced to make an emergency landing in Kansas City en route from Las Vegas to Pittsburgh following the team's 23-18 road win on Sunday evening.
