Mike Tomlin Explains Lack Of Deep Shots Offensively In Loss To Eagles

New week, same story for the Pittsburgh Steelers when it comes to pushing the football down the field.

At least that’s head coach Mike Tomlin’s talking point.

In Sunday’s 35-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, the Steelers and rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett attempted just three passes of 20+ yards down the field, according to Next Gen Stats at NFL.com. Three attempts out of 38 total in the blowout loss.

From 10-19 yards, Pickett attempted just nine total passes in that window, meaning he attempted just 12 total pass past 10 yards in the loss to the Eagles.
