28 Sep
Summary
- Mike Tomlin jokingly mocked the Bengals on "Football Night in America."
- Ke'Shawn Williams' muffed punt and fumble occurred in Week 3.
- Tomlin previously predicted a Steelers win over the Bengals.
Mike Tomlin, former head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers and current analyst for "Football Night in America," recently shared his humorous take on the Cincinnati Bengals. During a review of game highlights, Tomlin addressed the Bengals' Week 3 loss to the Steelers, a game that concluded on Sunday, September 28, 2026. He specifically called out returner Ke'Shawn Williams for a critical muffed punt and fumble in the fourth quarter. Tomlin quipped that Williams seemed to forget he was no longer playing for the Steelers, contributing to the Steelers' advantage.
Tomlin also lightheartedly critiqued the Bengals' defensive backs, Dax Hill and DJ Turner, comparing their collision during a touchdown play to the antics of the Keystone Cops. These remarks come after Tomlin's appearance in Pittsburgh on September 25, 2026, for the Steelers' Hall of Honor ceremony. At that event, he had publicly stated his anticipation for the upcoming game, wishing he could witness the Steelers defeat the Bengals. The Bengals had acquired Williams via waivers from Pittsburgh in December 2025.
