Tomlin, Haden Ready To Respond To DPIs With Cleaner Play

Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin was pretty vocal following the team’s season opening tie to the Cleveland Browns on what he felt was a blown call by the officials after they failed to award them a fumble recovery on a punt on which a Browns return player had the ball touch him.

A Steelers player fell on the ball after it bounced off the Brown’s helmet, and the team believed it was going to be awarded possession of the ball. The officials didn’t see it that way, and there was no further recourse, so Tomlin let his opinion be known in fairly strong terms that ended up getting himself fined.
