Tomlin Chose Not To Use TO Against Raiders Due To Desire To Face Run In Goal-To-Go Sequence

In addition to having to answer more questions on Tuesday about how he handled injured quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the second half of his team’s Sunday road loss to the Oakland Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was once again asked about his decision to not use a remaining timeout or two late in the fourth quarter of that contest.

During his Tuesday press conference, Tomlin was asked if he considered using a timeout on Sunday either after the long pass completion from Raiders quarterback Derek Carr to wide receiver Seth Roberts, or after the ensuing first and goal run by running back Jalen Richard.
