Analyst Blasts Steelers’ Mike Tomlin After Browns Loss
The Pittsburgh Steelers let their guard down in Week 12, dropping a divisional trap game to the now 3-8 Cleveland Browns in the snow.
The Steelers had no business losing to Cleveland, at least on paper, and there’s plenty of finger-pointing to go around. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo chose to shift the blame onto head coach Mike Tomlin during an interview with 93.7 The Fan’s Donny Chedrick on Friday morning, stating that his decisions didn’t age well as the contest went on.
“I think hands down, it was the coaching,” Fittipaldo said. “And I’m sure we’re gonna get into some of the personnel decisions and some of those fourth down calls, but I thought overall Mike Tomlin showed the Browns a lack of disrespect early in the game.”
Cleveland’s final drive of the night alone encapsulated what was a subpar night for Tomlin. On 3rd-and-2 from the Steelers’ 25-yard line, he decided to accept an illegal touching penalty on offensive lineman Ethan Pocic that pushed the Browns back five yards for a redo instead of making it 4th-and-2.
Despite the fact that Pittsburgh was in front 19-17 at the time, all indications pointed to Cleveland keeping its offense on the field instead of sending out the kicking unit given the weather. Had Tomlin declined the penalty, a stop on fourth down would have all but sealed a win.
Instead, Jameis Winston found Jerry Jeudy for a 15-yard completion and a first down. Tomlin also burned his second timeout with the clock stopped before the Browns moved the chains, which put Pittsburgh’s offense in a disadvantageous position on its ill-fated closing possession.
Nick Chubb went on to punch the ball into the end zone, putting Cleveland up for good with 57 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
Tomlin is an irreplacable part of the Steelers’ organization and is the driving force behind their success year in and year out, but Thursday night was a definite low point for him.
Pittsburgh still sits atop the AFC North with an 8-3 record, however, and can wash away any bad feelings emanating from the loss with a bounce back performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13.

2 men charged in road rage incident in Pittsburgh’s South Side
Two men are facing charges after a road rage incident on Pittsburgh’s South Side.
Police say their actions could have led to “grave” consequences.
The incident started at a red light at the intersection of East Carson and S. 21st Streets just before noon, on Wednesday.
Pittsburgh Police say two vehicles, a GMC and an Acura, were stopped at the light when the GMC made a lane change in front of the other car. The GMC driver and passenger allegedly thought the other driver had given them the go-ahead.
According to police, the driver of the Acura, Andrew Potter, then yelled and followed the GMC. Both vehicles stopped at the Coen gas station along S. 25 Street.
Police say surveillance video shows two men get out of the GMC. One of them, Joseph Brandt, is then seen grabbing a wrench, breaking a window on the Acura and hitting Potter in the face.
Both cars then traveled to a dead end on S. 25th Street. That’s where police say Potter’s Acura rammed the GMC.
Channel 11 spoke to customers at the Coen station who were glad no bystanders were hurt.
“If you can’t control your road rage, please don’t get on the road at all. It’s very dangerous,” one person said.
“It could’ve been worse,” said another.
Police say all three men involved suffered various injuries including a concussion, chipped tooth and broken wrist.
