Brian Flores will be on the opposite sideline of Mike Tomlin for the first time since he worked for the Steelers in 2022. Now in his third season as the Vikings’ defensive coordinator, he will go toe-to-toe with his good friend. According to former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, however, Tomlin should’ve never let it get to this point.
In fact, on his Footbahlin podcast, he gave Flores a lot of credit for why he’s leaning toward the Vikings winning. “The needle’s moving like this [gestures to one side], and it’s because I’m afraid of our line, that they’re not gonna get it done”, Roethlisberger said.
