Tomlin's reason for attempting 54-yarder
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin decided on allowing Shaun Suisham to try a what-would-have-been a career long 54-yard field goal.
Suisham missed, the Titans got good field position and Rob Bironas kicked the game-winner a minute later.
This is what Tomlin had to say about the decision:
Was there debate?
"There was but he banged the other one before that pretty clean so I decided to give him a shot at it. I will take responsibility for the miss."
Was there a concern during the timeout that you might've iced you own kicker?
"Not at all. It was a clock stoppage. Shaun (Suisham) is a mentally tough guy. I didn’t want the play clock to run down. We wanted to have a good, clean discussion about our options. He banged the previous one pretty good. We decided to give him a shot at it."
