If rookie Tyler Loop made his 44 yard kick, the Baltimore Ravens are in the playoffs. Tell that to Mike Tomlin and he’ll give you an anatomy lesson. After that, he’ll offer a football lesson of how to steady the ship of an uncertain season and game to guide the Pittsburgh Steelers into the playoffs.
Basking in the glow of a win over the Ravens that was bonkers even by the rivalry’s lofty standards, Tomlin doesn’t mind a missed kick being the catalyst to the postseason.
“You know how it is. If my aunt had male parts, she’d be my uncle,” Tomlin said via the team’s YouTube channel during his postgame press conference.
