If there is a head coach who knows about a good gamble, and the pros and cons associated with it, it would be Riverboat Ron Rivera. He earned that nickname for being aggressive on fourth down. Game recognizes game, and Rivera likes the gamble that Mike Tomlin took with the quarterback position for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“I think what he was looking for was an even bigger spark, and I also do think the way he’s handled this situation from the time they got Russell [Wilson] to where they are now, I think was masterful,” Rivera said on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football.
