Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's wallet could be a bit lighter after his comments about the officiating during Sunday's game. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent has already been in touch with Tomlin about the comments and he is facing a fine.

From Rapoport's tweet, it sounds like Tomlin has a chance to escape without a fine because it was in the post-game and there are emotions involved but the Steelers beat the Atlanta Falcons by 14 points, so he should still have been pretty happy.

Tomlin took exception to how the game was officiated and called some of the penalties a joke and was concerned they are costing people games and their jobs.

“But some of the other stuff, man, is a joke,” Tomlin told reporters via CBS Sports. “We gotta get better as a National Football League. Man, these penalties are costing people games and jobs. We gotta get 'em correct. And so I'm pissed about it, to be quite honest with you. But that's all I'm gonna say on it.”

One of the calls that Tomlin was so frustrated about was a roughing the passer call on TJ Watt, where he barely even touched Matt Ryan.

The penalty was called because it was a low hit on the quarterback, but Watt did everything in his power to pull off of Ryan to not him.

It will be interesting to see if Tomlin gets fined for the comments but it's clear that he is trying to make a point and he probably isn't worried about losing a few bucks.
