Mike Tomlin explains controversial fourth down decision late in Steelers’ loss

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers were close with the Seattle Seahawks for much of Sunday’s game. However, a late third quarter and early fourth quarter surge by the Seahawks put the Steelers behind the eight ball.

Yet, one decision to receive heavy scrutinization was head coach Mike Tomlin punting on 4th-and-1 from their own 48 with a little over one minute left in the third quarter.
