Steelers' Mike Tomlin Rips Frequency of Penalties, Says It's Becoming 'A Joke'

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin says he is upset about the way the games are being officiated.

Tomlin made his comments even though the Steelers beat the Atlanta Falcons 41-17 to run its record to 2-2-1.

"But some of the other stuff, man, is a joke," Tomlin said. "We gotta get better as a National Football League. Man, these penalties are costing people games and jobs. We gotta get 'em correct. And so I'm pissed about it, to be quite honest with you. But that's all I'm gonna say on it."

Tomlin, who is on the league's competition committee, did not go into specifics about where calls he didn't like.
