Mike Tomlin

So I'm not considering last week a playoff win.

But yes, it feels like they're bringing more momentum into the field and better help do it at home, which is different.

Yeah, a lot of things are.

I mean, everything's different to me.

Different quarterback than lately.

Yeah.

They're healthy.

They're at home.

And they're not facing an elite MVP-type quarterback.

I mean, you couldn't ask for bigger differences than a lot of their recent playoff games, could you?

Well, they're 10-7 again.

So in that sense, they're kind of the same old Steelers of this season.

What do you always call it?

High-end mediocrity?

Yes.

Joe.

So there's that.

C.J.

Stroud, yeah, I don't think anybody would put him in the same tier as Mahomes, Allen, or even Lamar.

But it'll be interesting for me to see, like, hey, is this going to be another game where the stark reality is you don't have one of the up-and-coming stars at quarterback in the AFC, and you're reminded of that in the first round of the playoffs, in the wildcard round.
