Steelers, Tomlin Facing Critical Period Over Next Few Weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers’ Head Coach Mike Tomlin was not a fan of his team’s ‘average starts’ to seasons in past years so he set out to start fast in 2016. Despite a humbling loss in Philadelphia, the ‘fast start’ was nevertheless achieved as the team entered the game yesterday in Miami at 4-1. Twenty-four hours later, Tomlin’s team is facing a critical period that could define the entire 2016 season.

After a humiliating 30-15 loss to a Miami team that was fighting for its season, the Steelers find themselves at 4-2 and atop the AFC North. That’s the good news.
