Los Angeles Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase gave the Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin vibes in their virtual interview with him, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro defensive tackle Cam Heyward provided some insight on Mike Tomlin’s final meeting with the team before he stepped down. Heyward did not disclose much, but he did reveal an interesting comment that Tomlin made to him.
“He said he was gonna take time. I will share one thing he did say to me. He was just like, ‘I’m glad I didn’t beat [Chuck] Noll’s record,” Heyward told co-host Hayden Walsh on their Not Just Football podcast. “
