Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is usually one of the most emotionally-reserved coaches in the league. We rarely see him celebrating and dancing. But earlier today, we got to see a different side of Mike Tomlin — one that we rarely get to see.
The Steelers got a huge win on the road in Baltimore today, as they extended their season — and the career of Ben Roethlisberger — by defeating the rival Ravens in overtime, 16-13. Most people didn’t think it was possible, but that win coupled with the Colts’ loss to the Jags now has the Steelers in the postseason, barring a Chargers-Raiders tie later tonight.
After the huge victory, head coach Mike Tomlin was spotted dancing on Instagram live. This video alone should tell you how big a win this was for Pittsburgh. When’s the last time you’ve seen Mike Tomlin this happy?
If the unthinkable happens and the Raiders and Chargers tie tonight, it will be the most heartbreaking end to Ben Roethlisberger’s career that you could imagine. Both teams have already indicated they will not play for the tie, but stranger things have happened.
