Mike Tomlin Doesn't Regret Steelers Trading Melvin Ingram To Chiefs

Dec 22, 2021 9:55 AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers don't regret trading Melvin Ingram to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Mike Tomlin says the trade benefited the Steelers even if they are now thin at linebacker. The Steelers and Chiefs play in Week 16.

"We didn't weigh their circumstances," Tomlin said. "We weighed our circumstances. Not only the tangible element of our circumstances, but the intangible quality that makes us a team. When we moved him, we had an opportunity to get value for him, and so that was entertaining and interesting to us.

"But also, to be quite honest with you and blunt, Melvin no longer wanted to be here. And for us, we prefer volunteers as opposed to hostages. And we believe that's a formula that allows us to come together in ways that you can't measure. To do the things we were able to do last week, to smile collectively in the face of adversity and do what's required to get out of the stadium with necessary wins. That's more of a function of us and the things that we value and less about Kansas City, the things that they needed or the prospects of playing them later in the season."

Brandon Staley Doesn't Regret Fourth-Down Calls In Loss

Dec 17, 2021 8:49 AM

The Los Angeles Chargers went for it on fourth down while in field goal range three times in the team's 34-28 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.

They failed on each attempt.

"From where my mindset is, I know that the quickest way to win a game like that is to score touchdowns, not field goals, especially considering who's on the other side," Brandon Staley said after the loss.

"To me, when you feel like you're in an advantage situation, when you don't feel like it's a gamble, and you feel like this is an advantage for you, then that's going to be our mindset. I don't think that any decision that I made tonight was a gamble. We felt like it was an advantage situation for us. That's why we did it. If we didn't feel like that was the case, then we would have kicked a field goal or we would have punted. That's the way that we're going to do things around here. I know that our team embraces that mindset. We're going to continue to do it every game we play moving forward."
