(From SI’s Jack Markowski): Logging just 10 offensive snaps in the second regular season game of his career, head coach Mike Tomlin offered an explanation as to why Wilson wasn’t utilized in the Steelers’ victory at MetLife Stadium.
“Lack of possession of the football and an agenda relevant to that day,” Tomlin said. “As I mentioned after the game, I have no intentions of explaining the minutiae of rep distribution week in and week out. We got a really good collective. In some instances, highly specialized skill sets. In some weeks, those skill sets will be highlighted and utilized, and sometimes they will be minimized. It is just a component of winning football games in today’s NFL, and it really does not require a lot of explanation.”
