Mike Tomlin’s abrupt departure from his postgame press conference Monday generated all kinds of speculation of his future with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
If you didn’t already know, the Steelers lost the wild-card round game 31-17 to the Buffalo Bills.
The coach’s quick exit opened the door for online creativity.
The Benstonium social media channels added a little Looney Tunes flavor to Tomlin’s quick exit.
