The Pittsburgh Steelers have been nothing short of disappointing to end this season. After controlling the AFC North for most of the year, they dropped their last four games to likely fall to the sixth seed in the playoffs. Part of the reason the Steelers lost to the Cincinnati Bengals was their inability to convert on fourth down near the end of the first half. It was a bold decision by Mike Tomlin, and he explained why he made that call.
“We had timeouts, they had timeouts, I didn’t want to give the ball back to them,” Tomlin said after the Steelers’ 19-17 loss via the team’s YouTube channel.
