One of the biggest criticisms of the Pittsburgh Steelers under head coach Mike Tomlin is the predictability. Everyone knows what the Steelers are going to do on offense and everyone especially knows what the Steelers are going to do on defense. This is well documented and seems to be something Tomlin doesn't care about, even if it hurts the team.
But New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields called the defense out ahead of this week's game in the worst way possible. Fields was the Steelers' starting quarterback for the first six games last season but got benched despite going 4-2. Ian Eagle of the broadcast crew said that when they spoke to Fields during the week and asked him about the familiarity between himself and the Steelers, Fields made it clear that it would hurt Pittsburgh more.
"I know them better than they know what we are going to do," Fields said. Eagle followed it up by noting that he is right because the Steelers are going to do what they do. This is not a compliment when opposing teams know what you are going to do before you do it.
