PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The NFL is reviewing whether Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin tried to interfere with a kick return in Baltimore.
The play is being discussed among Steelers fans across Pittsburgh and the entire country.
KDKA has another angle of the play shot exclusively by KDKA-TV photographer Michael Challik.
You can see Tomlin actually take a side-step toward the field, where his foot ends up on the field of play.
He then jumps out of the way when he realized the Ravens’ kickoff return was heading his way.
Tomlin says he was watching the play on the jumbotron and got disoriented.
The NFL will decide if Tomlin’s actions were intentional.
Former Steeler punter and co-host of Starkey, Miller and Mueller on 93-7 The Fan, Josh Miller, spoke to NewsRadio 1020 KDKA and said he thinks Tomlin knew what he was doing.
“Nothing he does isn’t thought out or planned, he knew what he was doing,” Miller said. “So yes, I think it was intentional.”
Meatloaf and Rush, similar in bulk.
Oh, yes! Tommy Lewis comes off the bench to tackle Dickie Moegle at mid-field. Nonetheless, Moegle is credited with a 95 yd TD -- the third of four that day.
You have to remember — we’re talking about a team which built half a dozen championship seasons around surreptitious holding by their offensive line.
This is AFTER Rush became famous.
And I've never heard Bradshaw described as a "liberal" by any means.
Limbaugh was genuinely hurt.
Wonder what wild hair got up Bradshaw's butt.
I have far harsher terms for Tomlin the Obama Toady. He's an extreme leftist and thus in the enemy camp.
And from a strictly football perspective, momentarily overlooking his self-evident Marxism, Tomlin is on the Rooney Plantation strictly through quotas imposed by the onetime CEO of that organization. What success he had was all through what Bill Cowher put into place.
One of Holder’s people. He’ll get a pass.
Yep! Another interesting part to that game, for me anyway, was that my all time favorite player, the GREAT Bart Starr, played in it.
This surprises me. Perhaps I’ve read too much into Rush’s comments, but I don’t get the sense that the liberal Rooneys are fans of Rush.
I understand old Dan has been out there pitching for Obamacare. It’ll be interesting to see if the Catholic hierarchy takes him to the woodshed for that.
My hunch is they won’t dare. In a fight between Danny boy and the church, Danny wins — at least in Western PA. He knows it and the local bishop knows it.
But, since the coach's back was turned, I'm not convinced.
Jones does get up immediately after being tackled and yells/points at Tomlin. He had a lot to say about it after the game as well.
Hahahaha...as if there is any other kind of holding or any other kind of offensive line...:)
It takes quite an IQ to think up something so profound.
Thank you very much for the compliment.
Just another cheating coach out there...
Thanks. That tells a much different story than the video, in my opinion.
Goodell nailed Tomlin with a $100K fine. There could be some draft picks taken away, too.
I officiated highschool football for 10-years and only flagged one coach for being on the field.
The big goof was the sideline covering official having to run behind Tomlin...his flag should have been out at the moment that happened. I couldn’t believe Tomlin wasn’t penalized.
Tomlin was trying to be cute and his $100k fine is warranted.
100k is not enough. Draft picks should be taken away.
I wonder if Tomlin’s smirking today.
