Lip-readers think Mike Tomlin yelled something NSFW at refs in loss to Jags

Mike Tomlin has never been one to mince words, and he’s not about to start now.

Let’s cut right to it: the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 8 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars was pretty ugly. For goodness sake, it was 9-3 at one point, and Pittsburgh had just 100 yards of offense. That is not a typo.

To make matters worse, the Steelers were flagged for a late hit on Trevor Lawrence, but there was no flag on the play that injured quarterback Kenny Pickett, forcing him to leave the game with a rib injury. Brutal.

Add in horrendous field conditions and more inconsistent calls, and the whole thing was a disaster. Understandably, Tomlin was heated and had some words for the officiating crew. Video captured the moment he seemingly asked a question to the nearest ref.

Lip-readers think it was, “What the [expletive] is wrong with y’all today?” followed by a repeat of the question. YIKES.

Tell us how you really feel, Mike.
