Mike Tomlin Praises Special Teams Units, Says ‘It’s About The Minutiae’ Rather Than The Obvious

The Pittsburgh Steelers managed to win last night’s game over the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 16-3, but even the score does not indicate how genuinely pedestrian the proceedings were for them on offense especially, and to a lesser extent on defense as well.

But their special teams units did stand out, particularly their rookie punter, seventh-round pick Pressley Harvin III, who punted four times during the game and did not allow a return, netting an average of 45.8 including three kicks inside the 20, one downed at the one, and another roller that was muffed for a special teams takeaway.
