One of many knocks on Pittsburgh Steelers’ Head Coach Mike Tomlin has been that he often struggles to get his team focused whenever incidents that don’t have anything to do with football happen.

Just a couple of years ago the Steelers found themselves embroiled in the National Anthem controversy. They went into Chicago favored to win and ended up losing by shooting themselves in the foot at seemingly every turn.
His team also endured Antonio Brown’s ‘Facebook Live’ moment in the locker room just moments after beating Kansas City in the AFC Divisional Playoffs.
