‘Poor Judgment By A Young Player’: Mike Tomlin Talks Kaleb Johnson’s Kickoff Mistake

The Pittsburgh Steelers might have beaten the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday if they didn’t shoot themselves in the foot multiple times. Easily the biggest of those shots came when Kaleb Johnson made a massive mistake on a kickoff, allowing the ball to roll into the end zone untouched. The Seahawks recovered it for a touchdown, which gave them a 24-14 lead at the time. That play changed the momentum of the game, and Pittsburgh never recovered.

Speaking at his press conference after the game, Mike Tomlin was asked about Johnson’s mistake. His answer was short and sweet.
