A surreal journey to go on Wednesday with the win also came to an end. Game three was postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak for Ravens, which was initially the final competition in the Thanksgiving Tripleheader. Thursday to Sunday to Tuesday to Wednesday – late. But with all the delays and uncertainties, there was no consolation for Tomlin, who refused to make excuses for the absurdity of what came before the game.
“We make no excuses,” he said. “We didn’t get any consolation. We didn’t play well tonight, the coach will do well.”
Known for giving frequently elaborate answers to his pressures, T, Malin was mostly short and passionate. This left a clearly horrible taste. Just how horrible?
“I don’t know,” he said. “I know this one is pretty frustrating.”
There is no harm yet for the Steelers, but the concerns abound. However, Tomlin believes that the need for fixing is not as difficult to consider.
“We don’t have to rediscover the cycle,” he said. “It’s not something changeable that needs to transpire. We got to coach better and play better when we got inside the bowl. I hope our group does it on Monday night, Monday evening, whenever we play.”
And so the Steelers move on to a second rescheduled game in Monday’s match with Washington with a full record and an unsatisfactory performance.
“We’re lucky tonight. It’s good to move on with the victory. I accept that,” Tomley said. “But, there’s not much to be proud of or something to be excited about.”
