Pittsburgh Steelers fans couldn’t escape it. ESPN, sports talk radio, NFL Network, heck even the ‘Pittsburgh Dad’ was screaming and yelling about Jesse James’ overturned touchdown against the Patriots in Week 15. While fans might have displayed anger, it was interesting to hear what Mike Tomlin’s thoughts were on the play, as a member of the NFL Competition Committee.

During his Tuesday press conference, Tomlin spoke multiple times about how the committee will have to re-visit ‘the catch’ rule, but NFL fans shouldn’t construe this as Tomlin “crying over spilled milk”, as he put it.
