Tomlin Doesn’t Regret Burning Final Timeout: ‘Trying To Win The Game’

Instead of asking for a miracle moment from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, their defense had a chance to close out a primetime win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night that bled into Monday morning. Facing 4th and goal from the Steelers’ 4-yard line, Mike Tomlin used his third and final timeout as Dallas came to the line of scrimmage. Despite the Steelers getting a look at the Cowboys’ plan, QB Dak Prescott hit WR Jalen Tolbert for a game-winning touchdown with 20 seconds left.

Without timeouts and only 15 seconds left, the Steelers could do little on their final offensive possession.
