THE FIRST CHANTS calling for coach Mike Tomlin's job started with 10 minutes and 16 seconds left in the fourth quarter of the Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, as Kenneth Gainwell's 2-yard loss on fourth down sent the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense jogging off the home field after yet another fruitless possession.
Seven days later, the 53-year-old coach blew a kiss to the camera in the wake of a 27-22 Week 14 victory as a Baltimore crowd, discontent with its own coach, silently streamed out of M&T Bank Stadium.
