Mike Tomlin didn't wait to hear the rest of the question.

After losing to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round Monday evening, the Pittsburgh Steelers coach walked off the podium in the visitors interview room at Highmark Stadium when he was asked a question that began, "Mike, you have a year left on your contract."

Though he is under contract through the 2024 season, Tomlin's future with the organization after an NFL-record 17 consecutive non-losing seasons as the head coach has been the subject of rampant speculation.
