Today, Mitch Trubisky was named starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers when they face off against the Carolina Panthers tomorrow after Kenny Pickett was ruled out with a concussion. Despite a supposed quarterback battle this week in practice, Trubisky came out on top.
In his weekly show, The Mike Tomlin Show, broadcasted on the Steelers YouTube page, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked to give his thoughts on Trubisky’s performance in relief last Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
“I thought [Trubisky] came in with the right spirit,” Tomlin said. “He didn’t reduce our intentions by any stretch, but that’s reasonable when you got a veteran backup, a guy who can come in and do the things you desire to do on a limited number of reps of prep.
