Pittsburgh Steelers players and head coach Mike Tomlin have differing views on the defense’s effort, or lack thereof, in a Sunday night loss to the Green Bay Packers. During his Tuesday press conference, Tomlin said pure effort wasn’t the reason why QB Jordan Love, TE Tucker Kraft, and WR Christian Watson torched the Steelers to the tune of 35 points. Not everyone agrees.
“One thing that’s a little bit concerning that I heard from multiple players in the locker room is that there was a question of effort throughout this loss to the Packers,” beat reporter Brooke Pryor said on SportsCenter following Tomlin’s presser.
