And we already knew that since Tomlin said his entire team would be staying back during a pregame interview. What was he supposed to do? Contradict himself and lie?




No but he couldve easily said..

In my desire to have the focus solely on football, I didnt take into account the importance and sacrifice this would put on one of our leaders. A man who has put it on the line for all of us shouldnt be put in that situation and will not be again.

He could have said that, but man it was a press conference after a loss. I don't think it's fair to expect the most perfect "pc" answer right on the spot. Now if he chose to vilifiy him instead, I would agree. But he didn't and provided an honest answer.
