I swear to God I’m not piling on ‘after the fact’ here… 

I really, truly thought Mike Tomlin’s ace up his sleeve was that he was gonna ‘sneak start’ Justin Fields tonight against the Ravens. 

The Steelers were quiet in the press all week. 

I really, truly thought it was intentional. 

I thought Mike Tomlin was trying to save his job. Was trying to get creative. 

Was gonna have the Ravens prepare for Russell Wilson all week… then BOOM pull the rug out and start Fields. 

Instead? 

Absolutely nothing. Team was asleep. Coaching was unbearable to watch. Does this guy EVER do anything creative or strategically tricky?
