​@francisconeto4866 He's definitely the other consideration. Tomlin has done more with way less over the years though. Lions are STACKED. Gonna be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out for sure. Steelers have (by a good margin) the most ridiculous schedule left for the year.

What a contrast between the way the Steelers & Ravens run their organizations, and the Bengals and Browns way. In Pittsburgh and Baltimore, you get treated like men and professionals. In Pittsburgh, you even get treated like a member of the family. In Cleveland and Cincy, they don't even remember there's a holiday coming up, and you get yelled at like your high school coach used to do.
