ESPN uses classic Mike Tomlin quote to describe Week 4 QB decision

After the Pittsburgh Steelers soundly defeated the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3, many fans were excited to watch the Week 4 media availability to finally get an answer to the months-old question—’Who is the Steelers’ long-term starting quarterback?’
