Mike Tomlin: Steelers “cut their eyelids off”

That's one way to put it!

The Pittsburgh Steelers improved to 4-2 thanks to their victory over the weekend over the Los Angeles Rams by a 24-17 final score. They have matchups upcoming against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers, all winnable contests that could go a long way in helping their standing in their division. 

And according to head coach Mike Tomlin, he's loving the fight in the group and even had an interesting way of putting it.

“I just love the fight in this group,” Tomlin told reporters via the team’s YouTube channel. “They don’t blink. They cut their eyelids off, man. They go at it. And it’s like I told them, it’s not a compliment, it’s required.”

One of the negatives of the game was that the Steelers were nailed twice for taunting penalties, but not something that Tomlin is overly concerned about. 

"Obviously we got to clean up some things from a management of our emotions, but I would much rather say, 'Whoa' than 'Sic 'em,'" coach Mike Tomlin said after the win. "We got some guys that are competitors. They just got to compete in the appropriate and mature and professional way. We use it as a learning experience. It's good to learn while sitting at 4-2 as opposed to 3-3."

The Steelers take on the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars at Acrisure Stadium this Sunday afternoon. Can they improve to 5-2 when it's all said and done?
