Mike Tomlin's shot at Browns GM Andrew Berry raised eyebrows a couple of weeks ago.
It provided a viral clip in the moment.
In hindsight, maybe Tomlin's response was telling about the state of his team's highly paid -- and underachieving -- defense.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the most well-compensated defenses in the NFL. The unit is not exactly living up to its considerable paycheck as the season nears the midway point.

I guess my takeaway is from world AA finals is: Leanne Wong WENT FOR IT w/her Cheng. And she killed it. And she hit every routine.
Isn't that kind of the point?
