Mike Tomlin spoke to the media Tuesday in his press conference prior to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 1 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Tomlin started the presser talking about getting his team ready for the regular season while preparing to face off against a talented Cincinnati squad coming off a Super Bowl appearance.
Tomlin then went on to talk about the QB situation, naming Mitch Trubisky the starting QB a day after he was named a team captain and was listed as QB1 on the depth chart for Week 1. After singing Trubisky’s praises, Tomlin then addressed the status of his rookie QB Kenny Pickett and how his efforts helped him secure the backup spot behind Trubisky prior to the start of regular season action.
