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.
