Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin acknowledges the team's four-game losing streak and their struggles to start games strong in the playoffs. Tomlin emphasizes that the burden of responsibility for the team's performance falls on his shoulders, not the players.
The way the NFL 's longest-tenured coach looks at it, the weight of those failures falls on his sturdy shoulders, not the team that will try to end that skid on Saturday in Baltimore.
Tomlin tried to strike an upbeat tone, pointing out that Monday is a “trash bag” day for the 18 teams that didn't reach the playoffs as they packed up their belongings and eyed an uncertain future. The Steelers, for the 12th time in Tomlin's 18 seasons, are not a part of that group. While Tomlin always makes the distinction that the story of one season doesn't necessarily bleed into the story of another, the reality is Pittsburgh's late swoon has mirrored its recent postseason pratfalls.
“That’s a good question,” he said. “Some of it has had to do it with some of the people that we played ... Some of it has to do with us, but rest assured that we’re working extremely hard to rectify it. And I’m excited about taking another whack at it.”
