Even though he started and played for the first time in several weeks, Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Artie Burns still didn’t play very many snaps in the team’s Sunday home win over the New England Patriots. In fact, after the Patriots first offensive possession that ended in a 63 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tom Brady to wide receiver Chris Hogan, Burns seemingly didn’t see the field on defense the remainder of the contest.
After the game was over, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked if it was difficult for him to remove Burns from the game as quickly as he did.
