Steelers' Mike Tomlin Has Cryptic Answer on Russell Wilson 'Petty Game Ball' Rumors

After giving quarterback Russell Wilson what has been called a "petty game ball" following the Pittsburgh Steelers' win in Week 2 over his former team in the Denver Broncos, head coach Mike Tomlin declined to provide more insight Tuesday into his behind-the-scenes motivational tactics.

According to ESPN's Brooke Pryor, Tomlin smiled when asked about the petty game ball and what goes on in the locker room when the media isn't around, saying: "I can't give you all the ingredients to the hot dog. You might not like it."

In Week 2, Wilson missed his second consecutive game to start the season due to a calf injury, but the Steelers pulled out a 13-6 win with Justin Fields under center.
