Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, now an analyst on NBC’s “Football Night in America,” poked fun at the Bengals as he and others reviewed highlights from Cincinnati‘s 30-27 Week 3 loss in Pittsburgh.
“Former Steeler Ke’Shawn Williams muffs a punt,” Tomlin said on the broadcast during the highlight. “He forgets that he’s not playing for them. Another error by their punt return team, giving the Steelers another shot. … All is well in western PA.”
