‘This Might Be His Pink Slip:’ Former Steeler Believes Mike Tomlin Era Coming To End

The Pittsburgh Steelers got embarrassed on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Fans booed renegade and “fire Tomlin” chants broke out as the game slogged to the finish in an eventual 26-7 win for Buffalo. After the game, former Steelers offensive lineman Trai Essex wrote on Twitter that the loss against Buffalo was his final straw. He thinks it could be the game that leads to Mike Tomlin getting the “pink slip” as Steelers head coach.

“This was the straw. I know a lot of #SteelerNation’s straw was before this, but for me, this is it. There is nothing that can be done after this to justify the ineptness up to this point.
