Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin caused a bit of a stir after making a curious comment involving “butts” during his team’s ‘Sunday Night Football’ clash against the Dallas Cowboys.
The teams played a scrappy first half at the Acrisure Stadium after a concerning weather delay. Pittsburgh went into halftime down 6-3 against the away side, as their defense kept them in the game.
Tomlin was interviewed by NBC Sports after the end of the first half and relayed his feelings on what he’d seen up to that point, suggesting his players were beating themselves.
“If we stop kicking our own butt, we can start focusing on theirs,” he said.

Social Media Thought Mike Tomlin Went A Little Too Far With That One
While Tomlin was referred to as a “walking billboard” by the NBC crew, fans felt like he at least needed a pause.
“Ayo?” one comment read.
“AYOOOOOO WHAT,” another read.
“Pause,” someone suggested.
“PAUSE LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO,” another declared.
“He forgot to say no diddy,” someone else wrote.
“Those phrases would hit hard if he actually coached his team well,” another fan claimed.
“Really? Dallas has gifted you two redzone turnovers. We are kicking our own a**es,” someone added.
The Steelers took a 10-6 lead in the second half but have since allowed a Cowboys touchdown, resulting in a 13-10 scoreline.
