Mike Tomlin not overreacting to upset of Bucs
The Pittsburgh Steelers upset the the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 20-18, on Sunday after entering the contest as a 10-point underdog, but Mike Tomlin knows his team is far from being back.
"Where we are is more than one good day, one good plan, one good winning performance in terms of working our way back to respectability," the head coach told reporters afterward.
Pittsburgh's season can still go in either direction as the Steelers are now a half-game from being the worst team in the AFC and one game from leading their division, per The Athletic's Mark Kaboly.
Kenny Pickett earned his first career victory but left the game midway through the third quarter with a concussion and didn't return. Mitch Trubisky, the former starter, played well replacing him. Pickett became just the sixth rookie quarterback to defeat Tom Brady.
The concern now is whether Pickett will be available for the Steelers' Week 7 game against the Dolphins on "Sunday Night Football."
If they're without the rookie quarterback, Tomlin has shown he can rally a team that is battered with injuries.
