Steelers coach Mike Tomlin likes hearing people say that his defense is too old. He doesn’t think it’s true.
"I know their age has been something noteworthy, something to be talked about," Tomlin told reporters Tuesday. "But when I look at them, I don’t look at them and see age. I don’t look at them and see dollar signs. I look at guys that put their head in the pile, and are committed to doing the job to the standards that we hold them to.

We’re not fighting any stereotypes and darts being thrown our way. We welcome them. Usually they provide a positive energy for us. So keep talking about how old they are. I appreciate that. You make my job easy."
