The Pittsburgh Steelers were in the mindset all along that San Francisco 49ers star EDGE Nick Bosa was going to be on the opposite sideline when the ball was kicked off this coming Sunday in Pittsburgh. Head coach Mike Tomlin said in his weekly press conference that the team wanted to be prepared if Bosa did get back in time to face the Steelers, while OT Dan Moore Jr. mentioned that the whole team expected Bosa to be in Acrisure Stadium by the time Sunday came around.
Yesterday, Bosa confirmed that the Steelers would see him on the opposite sideline this weekend, agreeing to terms with San Francisco on a record-setting contract extension that reportedly makes him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.
