We might have seen Mike Tomlin walk into the locker room immediately after practice three times all season prior to this week. It's not uncommon for the head coach to be elsewhere after practice. After all, they have a lot on their plate.
But this week, Tomlin made it a point to go to the locker room after each day of practice; to go around the room and make sure his players stay focused on the task at hand.
Why? This is a man who lives and breathes for football in December and beyond. Back-to-back road wins have the Steelers hungry for more, and Tomlin wants his team to remain focused on improving on the progress they've made since the bye week over four weeks ago.
