  "account": "After the Carolina Panthers defeated the Detroit Lions on NBC's Sunday Night Football, analyst Mike Tomlin, a former head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, suggested during a conversation at the Hall of Fame Game in Columbus, Ohio that the Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Columbus instead of Canton. Tomlin expressed his intention to build upon that momentum. Maria Taylor, a participant in the discussion, humorously remarked that the event would eventually take place in Canton, Ohio, a city 127 miles away from Columbus. Earlier that week, Tomlin made light of the Cincinnati Bengals' performance, specifically highlighting a missed punt by Ke Shawn Williams during their Week 3 loss to Pittsburgh. Another error, this time by the Bengals' punt return team, provided an opportunity for the Steelers to catch up. Tomlin commented on the broadcast that \"all is well in western PA.\" During a Sept. 25 Hall of Honor ceremony for the Steelers in Pittsburgh, Tomlin expressed his desire to be present for the Bengals' \"butt-kicking\" at the event in Columbus.",
