Mike Tomlin: Ke'Shawn Williams forgot he wasn't playing for Steelers
Former Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, now an analyst on NBC's "Football Night in America," poked fun at the Bengals during highlights.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, currently an analyst for NBC's Football Night in America, made light of the Bengals during a review of Cincinnati's 30-27 Week 3 loss in Pittsburgh. Tomlin pointed out a costly muffed punt and fumble by Bengals returner Ke Shawn Williams during the fourth quarter. "He forgets that he's not playing for them," Tomlin quipped on the broadcast, referring to Williams' misplayed punt.
Tomlin also joked that Bengals defensive backs Dax Hill and DJ Turner were reminiscent of the Keystone Cops when they collided, preventing Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers from connecting with DK Metcalf in the end zone. Tomlin, speaking at the Steelers Hall of Honor ceremony in Pittsburgh on September 25, expressed his eagerness to be present on Sunday to witness the anticipated "butt-kicking" the Steelers planned to administer to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bengals had acquired Williams on waivers from Pittsburgh in December 2025. This account originally appeared on the Cincinnati Enquirer.
