As bleak as things looked in the second half of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, Mike Tomlin never considered waving the white flag. Speaking to reporters Monday, Tomlin said he had no appetite for resting any starters despite a short week and crucial AFC North game against the Baltimore Ravens on tap.
“No,” Tomlin said via the team’s YouTube channel when asked if the thought crossed his mind.
Pittsburgh trailed for the entire second half and got rolled late in the game. Philadelphia held the final for the final 10:29, putting on a clinic of a 21-play drive that never saw the Steelers got the football back.
