While the Pittsburgh Steelers will get a late Christmas gift of sorts on Sunday in regard to them not having to face Baltimore Ravens starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, the odds on favorite to win the MVP award after the season, head coach Mike Tomlin made it clear on Tuesday that potentially facing both of his backups in that Week 17 contest won’t be an easy chore due to how the individual abilities of both players fit into the team’s offensive scheme and identity.
“Even though Lamar [Jackson] might not play [against us on Sunday], at least that’s what we’re hearing, we better be prepared for the schematics associated with his abilities,” Tomlin said Tuesday during his press conference.
