While it’s not quite the same as Friday Night Lights out in Latrobe, the Pittsburgh Steelers held their night practice earlier this evening at Heinz Field. Like last year, head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the crowd before the proceedings began, and expressed appreciation for their support, while also acknowledging their engagement in social activities over the course of the past year and a half. You can read a transcript of his comments below:
We just wanted to acknowledge and be thankful for the support that we get from you this evening. In the last 12 months, we’ve all been challenged in ridiculous ways.
