Coach Mike Tomlin apologized for the content of the video filmed by Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, and said any punishment will be handled internally ahead of the team’s AFC Championship Game against the Patriots on Sunday.
Tomlin opened his press conference yesterday by addressing the situation for almost five minutes. After the Steelers’ divisional round win against the Chiefs, Brown filmed a Facebook Live video from inside the locker room, where Tomlin was addressing his team. The coach can be heard using foul language regarding the Patriots and ironically telling his team to keep a low profile on social media during the week ahead of the conference title game.
