Mike Tomlin has never been one to mince words, and he’s not about to start now.
Let’s cut right to it: the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 8 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars was pretty ugly. For goodness sake, it was 9-3 at one point, and Pittsburgh had just 100 yards of offense. That is not a typo.
To make matters worse, the Steelers were flagged for a late hit on Trevor Lawrence, but there was no flag on the play that injured quarterback Kenny Pickett, forcing him to leave the game with a rib injury. Brutal.
Add in horrendous field conditions and more inconsistent calls, and the whole thing was a disaster. Understandably, Tomlin was heated and had some words for the officiating crew. Video captured the moment he seemingly asked a question to the nearest ref.
Lip-readers think it was, “What the [expletive] is wrong with y’all today?” followed by a repeat of the question. YIKES.
"What the f*** is wrong with y'all today?”
Mike Tomlin to the officials 😭

Mike Tomlin has the same view of the officials as everybody else, only he actually gets to ask them the question in person:
