For Mike Tomlin, don’t look at the box score to know how well the Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receivers not named George Pickens are doing. Despite their paltry production, Tomlin is happy with the group of Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, and Scotty Miller. In his weekly interview with Steelers.com’s Bob Labriola, Tomlin talked up the group and while explaining away the numbers.
“I like the work that they’ve done,” Tomlin told Labriola via the team website. “I don’t know the statistics reflect it, but people oftentimes don’t know our intentions in-game…We have run the ball in terms of attempts more than anybody in the NFL over the course of two weeks, and so that’s going to produce numbers that lead you to ask that question.
