Mike Tomlin set himself up for a colossal wave of negativity and media bashing in Week 7 when he benched the 4-2 Justin Fields in favor of Russell Wilson. That risk has paid off, and instead the media are the ones left eating crow. Colin Cowherd has been a longtime critic of the Pittsburgh Steelers and their defense-first approach to team building.
After what he has seen the last two weeks with Wilson, he is admitting that he was wrong about this team.
“We’ve always thought he’s credible, but I think what Mike Tomlin has shown over the course of this season, and I’m wrong on this, is that I always felt he was a little tone deaf to offense,” Cowherd said of the Steelers via The Colin Cowherd Podcast.
