Mike Tomlin: ‘They Controlled The Football Game, But We Won The Game’ On Weighty Downs

If you popped into tonight’s game at any random point throughout the 60 minutes of play without knowledge of the score, you probably would have assumed that the Jacksonville Jaguars won. One could easily argue that they should have, but the Pittsburgh Steelers ended up coming out with the win, instead, with a second consecutive game-winning drive in as many weeks.

That was not lost on head coach Mike Tomlin, who opened his post-game press conference expressing just that sentiment. “They controlled the football game, but we won the game”, he said in his initial remarks, expressing that he told the team the same thing, via the team’s YouTube channel.
