Tomlin Refers to Himself as "A Degenerate"
Pittsburgh's Week 10 win over the Commanders came down to the wire. A Russell Wilson TD pass to Mike Williams gave the Steelers a late 28-27 lead, but the game remained very much in doubt.
On the Steelers' final possession, Mike Tomlin lined his offense up to go for it on fourth down with just 1:02 remaining in the game. It was undoubtedly a controversial call by Tomlin, but luckily for the Steelers, Washington jumped offsides before the ball could even be snapped, effectively clinching the game for Pittsburgh.

When asked about the decision to go for it on fourth down and if the Steelers actually planned to run a play, Tomlin dropped an ice-cold line, saying, "We'll never know will we?". While laughing, Tomlin then added, "You know I'm a degenerate." We'll see if the Steelers head coach continues to degen it up against the Ravens in Week 11.
