Mike Tomlin’s press conference wraps unexpectedly after Steelers’ preseason win
NY Post
Mike Tomlin may just have experienced the easiest news conference of his career.
Following Pittsburgh’s 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars on Saturday, the Steelers’ head coach did what he always does after a game: made his way to speak with media members.
“It was really a good evening’s work,” Tomlin said as part of his opening statement. “We got put in a lot of situations and got a chance to watch people perform in them, a two-minute drive before the half kind of highlighting some of that. I thought we did a nice job of not beating our own butt. We kept pre-snap penalties virtually to a minimum; I think we had one.
“We played a pretty clean game for our first time out. We gave a lot of people a lot of opportunities and this is what this is about.”
He continued on for another moment or two before opening up the room to questions.
The problem: There were no questions for the Steelers’ head coach.

The number of people who have asked me what the “J.T. Miller Experience” has been like since the Rangers brought the impassioned forward back to New York is comical.
Rockets coach Ime Udoka blasted off on the referees following Monday’s overtime loss to the Nuggets, calling it “just in general, the most poorly officiated game I’ve seen in a long time.”
The Yankees never seemed to be real players for Ketel Marte, but any small potential of acquiring him has another hurdle.
With every loss by the Giants, interim head coach Mike Kafka is moving further away from sharing company with the likes of Jason Garrett and Doug Marrone.
On Tuesday night in Las Vegas, the Knicks will play for their first trophy of the century. Soon, an orange-and-blue banner could be raised at Madison Square Garden for just the second time since 1999.
Aaron Glenn was proactive.
Matt Rempe confirmed he broke his left thumb in “many places” during his early season fight with the Sharks’ Ryan Reaves and had to undergo surgery to repair it.
The Mets added a veteran defensive presence to their roster depth Monday.
