Mike Tomlin has made two of the three worst fourth-down decisions this season. Earlier this year, he lost in overtime against Baltimore when he lost faith in his kicker and elected to go for it when the numbers strongly favored the field goal attempt. Today, he erred in the more conventional way by kicking the field goal when he should have gone for it.
Let's look at the numbers.
The Steelers were down by five with 3:02 to play in the game in Seattle, and his team faced 4th and goal from the Seahawks' 3-yard line. If they kick a field goal to make it 32-30 in favor of the Seahawks, they have a 25.
