Mike Tomlin Downplays Critical Defensive Blunder Against Packers: ‘Happens From Time To Time’

Poor individual performance and bad scheme is one thing. Basic football miscues are another. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense had plenty of both in Sunday night’s loss to the Green Bay Packers. A second half collapse that saw all of the above. In arguably the lowest moment that summed up the problems. Pittsburgh’s defense had just 10 men on the field for the Packers’ two-point conversion to go ahead 22-19, helping get WR Romeo Doubs wide open for the easy score.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Tomlin explained what went wrong.

“Echols was in for Slay,” Tomlin told reporters post-game via the team’s YouTube channel.
