Mike Tomlin on Whether He’ll Consider QB Change: ‘Definitively No’

Following an uninspiring effort in a loss to the Browns on Thursday Night Football, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin attempted to quell any buzz concerning a potential change at quarterback.

Pittsburgh dropped to 1–2 on the season Thursday night after falling to AFC North rival Cleveland, 29–17, on the road. The team encountered issues on both sides of the ball, but it was Mitch Trubisky who again took center stage as the leader of a stagnant offense that struggled to sustain drives and put points on the board all night.

After the game, Tomlin fielded a question regarding whether or not he’s contemplated switching from Trubisky to rookie and fan favorite Kenny Pickett. Tomlin, perhaps sensing that the discourse over the next few days would fall squarely on Trubisky, quickly looked to silence the noise by providing a definitive answer on the situation under center.
