Steelers Coach Calls Kicker 'Serial Killer' in Bizarre Statement

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin praised the team's defense, saying they are capable of achieving "historic things." Sports commentator Colin Cowherd questioned whether the Steelers rely too much on their defense.

After Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made a 60-yard field goal in the game against the New York Jets, Tomlin described him as a "serial killer" with nerves of steel. Boswell's successful kicks, including a 56-yard field goal, played a crucial role in the Steelers' victory.

Boswell, who joined the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2015, has consistently delivered clutch performances. Last season, he earned his second Pro Bowl selection and first All-Pro selection, leading the NFL in field goal makes and performing well from long distances.

The Steelers, who made high-profile acquisitions like Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, and Jalen Ramsey in the offseason, will face increased scrutiny this season. A strong start with a win in Week 1 has helped silence some critics, at least temporarily.
