You could say that Mike Tomlin deciding to start Russell Wilson over Justin Fields was bold given how the latter has played so far in 2024, but it seems like the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach knows what he’s doing.
And that’s where he went after Sunday night’s win over the New York Jets. Former Jet Brandon Marshall dropped by Tomlin’s press conference and asked if it was one of Tomlin’s boldest decisions.
Tomlin looked him right in the eye and said this: “That’s why I’m well-compensated.” He got up and left, quite the mic drop.
What a quote and quite a moment:
Brandon Marshall stops by the postgame presser and asks Mike Tomlin if it was one of his boldest decisions to start Russell Wilson.
