Mike Tomlin and Reggie Nelson got into a verbal disagreement during the postgame handshakes following the Steelers’ 27-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday night to clinch the AFC North.
The speculation is that Tomlin took issue with Nelson over the safety’s hit on Le’Veon Bell. Publicly, Tomlin told the media he did not have an issue with Nelson’s hit on Bell. Tomlin actually said the disagreement was over something Nelson said a teammate told him Tomlin said about him.
Most people will have a hard time believing Tomlin, who was doing some vicious finger-pointing at Nelson:
I suppose Tomlin getting into arguments with players after a game is better than him physically interfering with players while plays are unfolding.
