Mike Tomlin said he thought it was the first opening drive touchdown given up by the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense all year long. Survey says…he’s right.
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Even though they got hit early, the Steelers never wilted. They tightened the screws and the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense was shut down for nearly the rest of the game.
“I think the significant part of it is that they went down the field on us on the first possession,” Tomlin told reporters, explaining what made his defense so successful.
