During his post-game press conference following an embarrassing loss to the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin didn’t pull any punches about what he saw on the field, telling reporters that his team was not ready for primetime.

While the comment didn’t necessarily draw any type of controversy, reporters did ask several players about it.
