For a guy who coaches a team hard by the Ohio, Monongahela and Allegheny, Mike Tomlin has fast become the riverboat gambler of the NFL.
The Steelers coach set dual NFL records last season when he ordered his team to go for two-point conversions 11 times and they made eight of them.
Now, he has them throwing caution and the football to the wind by not only going for it on fourth down, but throwing passes of 29 and 19 yards in the process.
What’s next, multiple onside kick attempts?
There’s nothing like going for it on fourth down — and making it — that pumps up an offense.
