SCB Steelers’ Quick Hitters: The “Did He Say Justin Gilbert?” Edition

Good Wednesday to you Steelers’ Fans!

Yesterday at Mike Tomlin’s Weekly Press Conference the Steelers’ top dog said the possibility exists that Justin Gilbert could be used Sunday to help cover Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce. Why do I find this interesting? Two reasons. First, Gilbert has played 11 total snaps on defense this season. That’s right, ELEVEN. Secondly, the Steelers did a pretty decent job on Kelce in the earlier matchup. Kelce was targeted eight time and finished with five receptions for 23 yards and a score. I find this comment by Tomlin to be a bit strange.
