NFL Week 2, 2019: 5 Coaches on the hot seat
By Dan Parzych
1. Mike Tomlin
Most likely, the Pittsburgh Steelers will recover from their embarrassing loss to the New England Patriots, and show over the next few weeks they are in fact a top contender in the AFC.
But until that actually happens, Tomlin deserves to be on the hot seat since the embarrassing term discussed before is the best way to describe what took place on Sunday in front of a national audience.
Yes, Pittsburgh arguably deserves some benefit of the doubt for adjusting on offense to Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell no longer being around, but there is still plenty of talent for Ben Roethlisberger to work with.
An offense like the Steelers should have been able to score at least one or two touchdowns against the defending champions. And while a home meeting with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 seems like the perfect opportunity to get back on track in the winning department, it’s certainly not going to be easy.

One can only imagine the frustration that will build up if Pittsburgh manages to drop to 0-2 on the season since this is always a team that seems to be a lock for at least a playoff spot, so here’s to hoping that Tomlin rallies his crew for Sunday’s game.
Otherwise, Week 3 is going to be brutal in Pittsburgh.
