You could say that Mike Tomlin deciding to start Russell Wilson over Justin Fields was bold given how the latter has played so far in 2024, but it seems like the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach knows what he's doing.

Tomlin looked him right in the eye and said this: "That's why I'm well-compensated." He got up and left, quite the mic drop.

What a quote and quite a moment:
