Tomlin Never Considered Pulling Roethlisberger Against Bengals; Says QB To Continue Resting On Wednesdays

The Pittsburgh Steelers certainly didn’t play well in their Sunday home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. On the heels of the Steelers losing by 14 points to the Bengals on Sunday at Heinz Field, head coach Mike Tomlin was asked on Tuesday during his weekly press conference if there was any point late in that Week 3 contest that he considered maybe pulling veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

“No there was not,” Tomlin said.

Tomlin’s response was one that should have been expected and especially based on his track history when it comes to such a thing like pulling Roethlisberger late in games that the team essentially has zero or very little chance of winning.
