In a closed-door press conference with the Pittsburgh media, Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II continued to show his support of head coach Mike Tomlin. (Rooney does it every year like this, yet fans blasted him for making it hush-hush and not streaming it live like Tomlin’s weekly pressers.)

Rooney does not believe Tomlin’s message is getting stale despite continued questions about his ability to reach players after a five-game losing streak. Rooney, who spoke to numerous players about Tomlin, continues to speak earnestly to his players, and that message is getting through.
