Despite a costly and in Mike Tomlin’s words, unacceptable, fumble Monday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers will keep Ray-Ray McCloud as their starting return man. During his Tuesday presser, Tomlin was asked if they’ll stick with McCloud and offered a short, clear answer.
“Yes,” Tomlin said via the press conference carried on the team’s YouTube channel.
Up 23-13 with 6:30 minutes left in the fourth quarter, McCloud fumbled the ball away on a Bears’ punt, attempting to spin off a defender and pick up a few more yards. Bears’ safety DeAndre Houston-Carson scooped up the loose ball and ran into the end zone.
