Head coach Mike Tomlin trusted his leadership, his veteran status and his ability; all Trubisky had to do in the early going was play well enough not to lose the job. And while the Pittsburgh Steelers walked (or perhaps limped) away from Cincinnati with a win, something else has become clear: It’s time for Trubisky to play well enough win the job he has.
