Mike Tomlin knows what he’s doing.

The head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers has never experienced a losing season in more than seventeen years at the helm. He engineered a Super Bowl victory, ended 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. When the veteran recovered from a calf injury, he deftly replaced him with Russell Wilson, shaking off the criticism and adding a new dimension to Pittsburgh’s passing game.

So it’s safe to say Tomlin knows 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 big shoulder-deep ball against the New York Giants on Monday night.

Wilson’s big throw ended in 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 late two-possession lead.

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