Draymond Green claps back at the Steelers’ ‘Fire Mike Tomlin’ crowd

Back-to-back losses to the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills have allowed the Baltimore Ravens to slide past the Pittsburgh Steelers for first place in the AFC North. Both teams are currently 6-6 and are entering a pivotal matchup on Sunday against each other. Ahead of the game, Golden State Warriors star and Steelers fan Draymond Green admonished Pittsburgh fans who want head coach Mike Tomlin fired. His full thoughts were shared via NFL insider Jordan Schultz on X, formerly Twitter.

“I think it's ridiculous…. That's loser-sh*t right there,” Green proclaimed to Schultz.

Tomlin has been the Steelers' head coach since 2007. Currently in his 19th season in charge of the Pittsburgh-based franchise, there have been rumors that Tomlin could look to coach elsewhere after this season. While he's led the Steelers to the playoffs in four of the last five years, the six-time Super Bowl champions haven't made it past the Wild Card round. If he does elect to leave the Steel City, can Tomlin deliver one more title run on his way out of town?

Steelers look to keep hold of AFC North lead with a win on Sunday

A win on Sunday would give the Steelers sole possession of first place in the AFC North once again. Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers has looked much better in Pittsburgh than in his two seasons with the New York Jets. If Tomlin leaves the Steel City, will Rodgers follow him out the door?

In any case, the focus for the Steelers is getting back to the playoffs, like usual. While many have already started to speculate what Tomlin's future could hold, the veteran head coach is certainly locked in on trying to win another title. Three divisional matchups, including two versus the Ravens, await them over the final five weeks of this season. Can Tomlin capture his eighth division title with a strong closing performance over the next few weeks? If so, a potential Lombardi Trophy run could follow suit.
