Steelers-Bills total nosedives with turbulent weather forecast for NFL playoffs

A stormy weather forecast in Buffalo is plummeting Sunday’s Bills-Steelers total during Wild Card Weekend.

Troy Polamalu: Talk of Mike Tomlin not returning to Steelers is ‘crazy’; vows team ‘will be back on top soon’ | Bryan DeArdo, CBS

The two-time Super Bowl champion dismissed rumors that this might be Tomlin’s final run with the Steelers. Tomlin, who reportedly may take a break from coaching after this season, was under heavy criticism from Steelers fans before he engineered a three-game winning streak that ultimately resulted in a playoff berth.

“They’re probably the same fans that were saying get rid of Ben too, and me,” Polamalu said with a laugh on “The Jim Rome Show”. “Honestly, I think Coach Tomlin is one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. I think he’s a Hall of Fame coach. Absolutely, I think the talk is crazy for people to consider or think that he wouldn’t be our coach next year. I think it would be terrible for him not to be.”
