In the moments following the 20-12 preseason-opening loss to the Houston Texans Friday night at Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was not happy one bit.
Stepping to the podium to speak to reporters following the disappointing showing from his new-look team, Tomlin lamented the sloppiness and the “JV’ performances across the board in big spots, especially situational football.
His comments weren’t all that surprising, nor was his body language. He was clearly unhappy with what he saw for four quarters from his team.
For former Steelers defensive tackle Chris Hoke, who appeared on the KDKA Nightly Sports Call following the loss to the Texans, the sloppy loss could do wonders for the Steelers, especially after they cruised through the preseason last summer to a 3-0 record, looking unstoppable in the process.
