What Tomlin did to beat the Browns

I inadvertently stumbled across this in a Cowboys article where they were talking about their coach, Garrett - and they referenced Tomlin:

A sign of good coaching often involves how a team reacts once things aren't scripted. For example, the Pittsburgh Steelers are down to their third-string quarterback. They didn't have their top receiver or running back on the field Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, yet they still managed a 20-13 victory after falling behind 10-0 to start the game.

A Steelers player told ESPN's Dianna Russini after the game Tomlin "straight-up went high school football coach and drew up how they were going to defend Cleveland" since the Browns confused Pittsburgh with an early look. "He saved the game."

Every time I hear someone refer to Tomlin as a "cheerleader", I shake my head. Uninformed people. They have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. None whatsoever.

I'm pretty sure Tomlin has taken over the DC job and now I'm wondering if starting in the second half last week if he taken hasn't over Fitchner's job. As long as we win I don't care. I still think we could do a lot better at both coordinator positions.
