Mike Tomlin Expresses ‘Sadness At The Loss Of Kevin Greene’ Following Monday’s Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have lost a game yesterday—one that had no effect on whether or not they make the postseason—but the organization suffered a far greater loss earlier in the day, as it was revealed that former great Kevin Greene passed away at the age of 58.

A Hall of Famer who finished his 15-year career with 160 sacks, the third-most in NFL history, Greene was a dominant force as part of the ‘Blitzburgh’ defense he helped spearhead in the early to mid-90s alongside Greg Lloyd on the other side of him, propelling them to a Super Bowl appearance at the end of the 1995 season.
