A Tale of Two Halves and Bigger Questions
Bill Cowher described the Steelers loss as a tale of two halves but said the bigger issue is Pittsburgh’s lack of a clear long-term plan. He would welcome Aaron Rodgers back as a bridge and mentor to a young signal caller and believes Mike Tomlin has earned the right to stay after 19 seasons with the franchise. Cowher emphasized avoiding emotional decisions and understanding family sacrifices in coaching. Looking ahead, he praised San Francisco and Houston’s defense, calling the playoff slate balanced and compelling with plenty of upset potential.
