Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has been enjoying a ton of success this season, with the team sitting with a 7-2 record and primed to make it to the playoffs.
However, multiple Super Bowl winner turned Fox analyst Tom Brady expects a tough clash for them on Sunday. The AFC North rivalry will be on display as two of the longest-serving head coaches come face-to-face.
Tom Brady Is Excited for Mike Tomlin’s Tactics Against John Harbaugh
Brady appeared on Fox’s Digital Exclusive to hype up the Week 11 games as he looks forward to the Steelers welcoming their division rivals, the Baltimore Ravens. Yet, Brady didn’t mince words in admiring Tomlin’s work in a 28-27 win over the Washington Commanders.
“With last week’s win over a very good Commanders team, the Steelers have won four straight while putting up 31 a game,” Brady said. “Russell Wilson has improved to 3-0 on the season as a starter. He threw a beautiful touchdown, game-winning pass to Mike Williams.”
After congratulating Wilson, Brady looks forward to Tomlin’s approach against Lamar Jackson.
“The Steelers schedule only gets tougher from here as they have four consecutive divisional games coming,” he said.
“I can’t wait to see how Coach Tomlin’s top-two defense fares this week against Lamar and the Ravens in that top-scoring offense,” added Brady.
Tomlin Is Ready To Face the Ravens’ Challenge
The Steelers came from behind to register the victory over the Commanders, extending their winning streak to four. This victory gives Pittsburgh a ton of confidence heading into the matchup with Jackson and the Ravens.
“We faced a significant challenge a week ago, not trying to compare the two, just acknowledging that we face another hot offense with a multi-dimensional quarterback and a really good running game and an offense that’s ringing up the scoreboard,” Tomlin said.
“And so, if I know anything about our group, that fires them up, but it fires them up in the appropriate way,” he added.
The Ravens will be at the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 17, with kickoff at Acrisure Stadium scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
