Tomlin brushes aside report of Trubisky, Johnson altercation

Mike Tomlin didn't outwardly confirm or deny a report that Mitch Trubisky and Diontae Johnson got into a heated exchange during halftime against the Jets on Oct. 2, which led to Trubisky's benching in favor of Kenny Pickett in the second half.

When asked about the alleged confrontation during his weekly press conference at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, the Steelers' coach did, however, reinforce that sometimes tempers can flare up from time to time:

"Do you think that I will share with it you this environment? Probably not," Tomlin said.
