Tomlin's Steelers Are 0-7 In Late Afternoon Games
14th November, 2008 - 5:02 pm
Beaver County Times - Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin is a surprising 0-7 in games that start at either 4 o'clock or 4:15 p.m. eastern time during his brief tenure with the team.

"That's just a coincidence. That's just a quirk," nose tackle Chris Hoke said. "I don't think anybody should read anything into that. It's just a quirk."

When the Steelers have 1 p.m. starts, they're 7-1 under Tomlin. In Sunday night or Monday night games that start at 8:15 or 8:30, they're 9-1.

"I wish I could put my finger on it. I wish I could explain why," defensive end Brett Keisel said.

"Our routine does change a little. Absolutely. For a one o’clock game, you’re up early in the morning, you eat breakfast and you go right to the stadium. For those late afternoon games, we get to sleep in a little more. Maybe we’re sleeping too much." [READ]
