Former Steelers WR Knew Mike Tomlin Was Worried

The Pittsburgh Steelers head coach's face said it all.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are the center of attention after dropping back-to-back losses to 2-10 teams. After their most recent loss to the New England Patriots, the debate started about whether or not Mike Tomlin was the issue with the team right now. One former player says even the head coach knew what the real problem was early on. 

During an appearance on The Carton Show, former Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress said he saw in Tomlin's face early in the game that the head coach knew Mitch Trubisky was going to struggle. 

"The look on Tomlin's face yesterday [Thursday], he really wasn't excited the way this game was going offensively," Burress said. ". ... He knew that he doesn't have the quarterback to go out and win this football game last night. You can see it on his face." 

After the game, Tomlin said he never thought about making a change at quarterback, benching Trubisky for Mason Rudolph. Trubisky finished completing 22 of 35 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown but also threw an interception. 

Trubisky is 2-4 as a starter for the Steelers.

The Steelers will have extended time to decide on their next starting quarterback, as Pittsburgh take the weekend to sort through the film before returning to work for Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts.
