Mike Tomlin Praises Mark Robinson’s ‘Situational Splash Playmaking’

The Pittsburgh Steelers returned to preseason action with a thrilling 32-25 victory over the Seattle Seahawks Saturday night at Acrisure Stadium. The game-changing moment that likely sealed the victory for Pittsburgh occurred late in the fourth quarter as the Seahawks approached midfield with the game tied at 25 apiece. With a 1:17 left, Seattle snapped the ball and rookie LB Mark Robinson came off the edge, drilling #2 Drew Lock in the back to force the ball out on the strip sack. Pittsburgh would then recover the ball and take possession inside Seahawks territory.

When asked about the sack strip fumble by Robinson which ended up being recovered by OLB Tuzar Skipper to put Pittsburgh in position to go take the lead at the end of the game, Tomlin praised Robinson’s efforts when he needed to make a play.
