Tomlin’s Decision To Punt Down Two Scores Named Worst Coaching Decision Of The Week

Throughout his storied tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach Mike Tomlin has been known a time or two to truly live in his fears despite believing he lives by the opposition of that saying.

He’s punted the football in big spots, rather than be aggressive offensively. He did that again on Saturday in the Week 15 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Facing a 4th and 14 late in the third quarter from the Indianapolis 39-yard line, Tomlin decided to call on punter Pressley Harvin III rather than standout kicker Chris Boswell for a 57-yard field goal attempt indoors.
