Mike Tomlin jokes about Mason Rudolph in Garrett incident retelling
Summary

During a recent appearance on Cameron Heyward’s podcast, former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin reflected on the notorious 2019 altercation between Mason Rudolph and Myles Garrett. Tomlin, previously tight-lipped about the incident, humorously referred to Rudolph as having a 'punchable face'. The confrontation took place in a game where the Browns defeated the Steelers 21-7, and Garrett was subsequently suspended for the remainder of the season. Tomlin's change in tone highlights how the controversy has evolved into a lighter subject over time, despite its impact on the Steelers-Browns rivalry.
