Facing Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and a potent Baltimore Ravens run game made the Pittsburgh Steelers sell out to stop the ground game. In many ways, they achieved that mission. The cost of that was giving up big plays in the passing game to the tune of three explosive scores. If the Steelers and Ravens stepped into a stadium for a third time, Mike Tomlin wouldn’t change a thing.
“We overplayed maybe some design runs and we put ourselves in some thinned out covered circumstances, but that’s what you do when you’re playing and playing the win,” Tomlin told reporters via the team’s YouTube channel during his Tuesday presser.
