The Pittsburgh Steelers are going up against one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL on Sunday night in Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard. Howard’s resume speaks for itself, as he’s an All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler. He will likely cause problems for the Steelers on Sunday which Mike Tomlin discussed with Bob Pompeani on his weekly show, The Mike Tomlin Show, posted to the team’s YouTube channel.
“They’ll put him on matchup-related things and put him on what they view as your top receiver. Sometimes they’ll put him on what they view as your second receiver and they’ll thoughtfully take the double elsewhere, not wasting him in a double,” Tomlin said.
