Steelers’ Mike Tomlin admits club’s role in Helmetgate

At Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin’s weekly press conference, he obviously was asked multiple questions about the incident that occurred in Thursday night’s 21-7 defeat in which Browns’ defensive end Myles Garrett ended up slugging Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph in the head with his own helmet.

Tomlin accepted responsibility according to ESPN staff writer Brooke Pryor in the news conference.

”It was ugly. It was ugly for the game of football. I think all of us that are involved in the game, particularly at this level, want to safeguard and protect the game, its integrity. And in that instance, it was compromised, obviously, with an unfortunate incident.
