Mike Tomlin knows what he’s doing.

The Pittsburgh Steelers head coach has never experienced a losing season in more than 17 years at the helm. He engineered a Super Bowl victory, managed the end of the Ben Roethlisberger era and led a Mason Rudolph-led team to a playoff berth.

In 2024, he turned Justin Fields into a winning quarterback for the first time in his career. He then shrewdly replaced him with Russell Wilson after the veteran recovered from a calf injury, shrugging off criticism and adding a new dimension to Pittsburgh’s passing game.

So it’s safe to say that Tomlin knows his way around the ball. After nearly two decades of televised games, he also knows where NBC’s cameras are.

That was Tomlin’s reaction after the quarterback he controversially inserted into the starting lineup hit Van Jefferson with a great, shoulder-deep ball Monday night against the New York Giants.

Wilson’s big throw ended with a 36-yard gain and the outward approval of his head coach. Four plays later, he found Calvin Austin for another deep connection – this time for a touchdown to take a two-possession lead late.

Tomlin liked that too – just not directly into the camera lens.
