Mike Tomlin Backs Down Regarding Patriots
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says the Patriots did not break the rules.
The NFL said Friday that the problems with the coaches' hearing the Patriot's radio broadcast in their headsets had nothing to do with the Patriots.
Tuesday, Mike Tomlin said that he is satisfied that there was no wrongdoing on the part of New England.
Also, after Thursday's opener in which the Steelers lost, Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger had complained about jumping along the Patriot's defensive line when the Steelers had the ball deep in the red zone late in the game. Pittsburgh drew a false start penalty on the play.
According to the Boston Herald, Tomlin acknowledged Tuesday that the Patriots did nothing illegal during the play.
