There are many layers that exist as we head into tomorrow’s game against the Buffalo Bills, and perhaps the biggest one, other than the Steelers being 14-point underdogs, is the fact that rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett will be making his first career start. But beneath all the hoopla surrounding that is a neat tidbit in that the two head coaches squaring off tomorrow in Mike Tomlin and Sean McDermott were once college teammates at William & Mary, at safety and wide receiver, respectively.
Tomlin sat down earlier with KDKA TV’s Bob Pompeani to discuss the bond that exists between the two and whether or not that’s a talking point heading into the game, and in the true professionalism that Tomlin always exhibits, he nipped that directly in the bud.
