Tomlin Critical: 'Not an Acceptable Performance'

Coach Tomlin: Obviously, it was not an acceptable performance on a lot of levels. There were some really good efforts, some positives, some negatives. Obviously, a lot to look at and learn from. I do think we did some good things, particularly early on in the run game, winning the line of scrimmage and running the ball consistently and efficiently. But just too many mistakes, penalties getting us behind the chains offensively. We gave them 30 yards in free real estate in the two-minute drive prior to the half. That’s self-inflicted wounds. Then, obviously, we had some poor judgment in the return game. From a kicking standpoint, we had a punt blocked. Can’t be winning football. We’ll take a look at it. We had some young guys, maybe in some instances, being overly aggressive, trying to impress and, obviously, it working against us. We’ll learn from this and move forward and, obviously, it needs to improve and put together a winning performance next week. That will be our focus as we get back to Latrobe and move forward.
