He pledged reforms following the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 30-13 loss to Indianapolis on Saturday, their third consecutive loss. Following yet another terrible offensive showing, Tomlin remained mum when asked about specifics, but it appears that Pittsburgh may start a new quarterback against Cincinnati the following week.
Right now, everything is on the table. “We can’t keep playing football the way we are,” stated Tomlin, the 17-year Steelers head coach who has never had a losing season. “We must make the necessary adjustments right away. Next week, we won’t proceed in the same manner that we did today.
If he can’t go, Tomlin must decide whether to stay with Mitch Trubisky, who started Pittsburgh’s last two games, or give a chance to Mason Rudolph, who relieved Trubisky late against the Colts.
Trubisky gained 169 yards by finishing 16 of 23. He was sacked three times, completed one touchdown pass, and threw two interceptions. He also scored on a 1-yard run that was reverted when a replay review overturned the initial call of fumble.
Pittsburgh had just one additional opportunity to score after jumping out to a 13-0 lead in the first sixteen minutes, with one of those scores coming from a blocked punt that the Steelers recovered within the Colts 1-yard line. Tomlin chose to punt rather than attempt a 56-yard from goal.
The Steelers gained 216 yards in total, of which 74 were gained on the ground. Najee Harris gained 33 yards on 12
