Mike Tomlin Feels For Mitch Trubisky After Being Benched: ‘We’re Sensitive To The Situation That Mitch Is In’

On Tuesday, HC Mike Tomlin spoke to the media in his weekly press conference where he talked about the events of Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets at home and previewed the team’s upcoming Week 5 matchup on the road against the Buffalo Bills.

When asked about how Trubisky handled the news that he would no longer be the team’s starting quarterback after getting benched at the half in favor of rookie Kenny Pickett against the Jets, Tomlin said his former starting QB was obviously disappointed, but sees him behind helpful to Pickett as he prepares for his first start against Buffalo.
