There have been Steelers fans who have called for Tomlin to be fired for what feels like forever, but this was the first time audible chants could be heard in-stadium during a game. Tomlin was asked about the call for his job during his Tuesday press conference

If you root for the Steelers, entertaining them is winning. If you’ve been in this business, you understand that. I respect that. I share frustrations. I understand what makes this thing go, and winning is what makes this thing go.”
Tomlin also responded to the question after the game, acknowledging that fans should be frustrated with the current play.
“I share their frustrations,” Tomlin said. “We didn’t do enough. That’s just the reality of it.”
