"We've got to get better as a National Football League," Tomlin said in his postgame interview. "Man, these penalties are costing people games and jobs. We've got to get them correct. And so I'm pissed about it, to be quite honest with you. But that's all I'm going to say on it."

In the Steelers’ latest game against the Atlanta Falcons, each team had seven penalties called against them.
