PITTSBURGH (AP) -No more motivational slogans from coach Mike Tomlin. No more talk of his Pittsburgh Steelers redeeming themselves for past mistakes. No more grandiose promises to unleash havoc on the NFL for the rest of the season.
Tomlin’s response to the Super Bowl champions’ latest improbable loss and the franchise’s longest losing streak since 2003? He’s taking out an eraser and wiping away names.
A starter gone here, a backup moving up there. A rookie starts, a veteran goes to the bench.
The Steelers traditionally don’t make panicky personnel moves or bench a player because of a bad game or two. But what Tomlin calls “a pattern of behavior that’s unacceptable” will result in lineup changes Thursday in Cleveland.
