Tomlin Can’t Say Enough Good Things About Kicker Matthew Wright (Including Saying Goodbye)

One of the keys to victory for the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday in their 19-16 victory over the Atlanta Falcons was special teams. Matthew Wright (who was released earlier today) made four field goals in the win, while Harvin pinned the Falcons deep in their own territory with 53 seconds left, setting up safety Minkah Fitzpatrick’s game-winning interception. The Steelers also didn’t Cordarelle Patterson, the NFL all-time leader in kick return touchdowns, get a chance to return anything against Pittsburgh. During The Mike Tomlin Show on Saturday, head coach Mike Tomlin praised the Steelers’ work in special teams.
