Amid criticism of the Pittsburgh Steelers' elimination from the NFL playoffs, a key player came out in defense of head coach Mike Tomlin. Midway through the 2024 NFL regular season, the year for the Pittsburgh Steelers did not look like it would end unhappily.

Is this the swan song for Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh? The Steelers lost their sixth straight playoff game under Tomlin, and the third straight by 14+ points. Pittsburgh looked lifeless in the first half of Saturday's loss to Baltimore, a game that was reminiscent of the four straight losses the Steelers had to end the regular season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin has been a polarizing topic in the Steel City for many seasons now. Of course, Tomlin has wowed many with his leadership skills, coaching talents, and everything he brings to the table as a football mind.
