After the Carolina Panthers' win against the Detroit Lions on NBC's Sunday Night Football, analyst and former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin seemed to think the Pro Football Hall of Fame is in Columbus, Ohio, instead of Canton.
"That was the feeling I got when we had a chance to talk to (Bryce Young) in Columbus, Ohio, at the Hall of Fame Game," Tomlin said. "He talked about building on that momentum. … Really through the first month of the season we're seeing that that is a real statement."
"It's Canton, Ohio, where you'll be one day with a gold jacket," Maria Taylor joked.
Columbus is 127 miles from Canton. Canton is closer to Pittsburgh.
One week earlier, Tomlin poked fun at the Bengals as he and others reviewed highlights from Cincinnati's
30-27 Week 3 loss in Pittsburgh.
"Former Steeler Ke'Shawn Williams muffs a punt," Tomlin said on the broadcast during the highlight. "He forgets that he's not playing for them. Another error by their punt return team, giving the Steelers another shot. … All is well in western PA."
When Tomlin spoke in Pittsburgh Sept. 25 for the Steelers' Hall of Honor ceremony, he said he wished "he could be here Sunday for this butt-kicking that we gonna put on the Cincinnati Bengals."
