Pittsburgh Steelers to Debut on Hard Knocks: Mike Tomlin Won’t Watch
The Pittsburgh Steelers are finally making their debut on HBO Max’s Hard Knocks, airing this Tuesday at 9 p.m. This marks a historic moment for the Steelers, as they have managed to avoid being featured on the show for its 23-year history in the NFL. The show will not solely focus on the Steelers, as it will cover all four teams in the AFC North, giving fans a glimpse behind the scenes.
While head coach Mike Tomlin might be the star of the show, he sees this opportunity as a challenge. Despite this, he has no plans to watch the premiere tonight, stating, “absolutely not.” Recently mic’d up during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Tomlin finds this experience as something to conquer. He emphasized the importance of dealing with challenges better than their competitors in the division, viewing it as an opportunity to position themselves for success. Tomlin’s focus is on ensuring that the Steelers perform better under the conditions presented in Hard Knocks compared to the other three teams in the AFC North.
