The 2023 season was a wild ride for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The player they thought was their franchise quarterback did not play well, they lost multiple games to inferior opponents, and yet they still somehow made the playoffs. The season looked lost at several different points though. A three-game losing streak late in the year seemed like the final nail in their coffin. However, it sounds like Mike Tomlin knew exactly how to rally the troops, at least according to Steelers director of player development Darrel Young.
Appearing recently on the Coaches Corner Podcast, Young, who played in the NFL for nine years and has been in the Steelers’ front office since 2021, spoke about Tomlin’s message to the team after they Steelers lost to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15 last year.
