BREAKING NEWS:Buffalo Bills just recieved sad and terrible news just now

Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin is catching heat for not using timeouts at the end of the first half during a matchup between the Bills and Steelers.

Rather than attempt to get his offense the ball back one last time before the break, Tomlin allowed Buffalo to run out the clock

The decision is being criticized for a couple of different reasons.

The Steelers trailed by two touchdowns after a disastrous first half. In fact, Pittsburgh found itself down 21-0 midway through the second quarter thanks to a George Pickens fumble deep in Steeler territory and a Mason Rudolph interception in the endzone

They’d cut into the deficit with a touchdown on their final possession of the half, but they could’ve had one more scoring chance had Mike Tomlin used his timeouts

The Steelers’ lone first half touchdown was set up by a blocked field goal, and on that play, holder and starting punter Sam Martin appeared to pull his hamstring.

On the next Buffalo drive, Josh Allen was sacked on first down to set up a 2nd and 17 with just under a minute on the clock. With all three timeouts remaining, Pittsburgh could’ve theoretically stopped the clock and forced the Bills to use a backup punter in less-than-ideal conditions.

Instead, Allen took a few knees to get to halftime.

Steelers fans were critical online.

“Mike Tomlin is taking his timeouts with him to heaven.”

“Mike Tomlin absolutely clueless. Use your timeouts and force a possible shank or blocked punt with the punter hurt.”
