Whether the Pittsburgh Steelers went for it on 4th down, attempted a field goal, or done anything else, they weren’t beating the Buffalo Bills Sunday afternoon. But Mike Tomlin, famous for saying he doesn’t live in his fears, routinely waved the white flag today.
Twice against the Bills, once in the first half and again in the second half, Tomlin opted to kick field goals instead of keeping his offense on the field on 4th down. Both times, Chris Boswell’s field goal attempt pushed wide left, football justice if there ever was an example.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Tomlin defended and explained his decision to go for it.
