Mike Tomlin didn’t get to end his honorable 19-season Steelers’ tenure with a much-sought-after playoff win this year, but he did close it out with one last classy gesture.
The Steelers were knocked out of the playoffs on Monday in a wild-card loss to the Texans, during which Aaron Rodgers & Co. got blown out in an ugly 30-6 beatdown at home. Pittsburgh had quietly snuck into this year’s postseason thanks to a fortuitous missed field goal by the Ravens in their regular season finale, and Tomlin, who was hoping to clinch his first playoff victory since 2016, wasn’t taking anything for granted.
