Mike Tomlin Appears to Take Shot at Broncos' COVID QB Handling

Denver is forced to start Kendall Hinton — an undrafted rookie practice squad wide receiver at quarterback — Sunday after Drew Lock, Brett Rypien, and Blake Bortles were made ineligible to play due to COVID-19 contact tracing.

The Broncos are under fire as all three and quarterback Jeff Driskel, who tested positive, were together not wearing masks, as required by the league’s pandemic protocols.

In addition to the angry COVID-watchers on Twitter, Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin may have  — maybe — took aim.

Judge for yourself:










That's how you throw shade. Obvious enough we catch it, but careful enough bloggers have to use "Appears" in the headline. It's more impactful that way, too. The "maybe" of it drives one insane.

By the way, you can exercise all of the necessary precautions you want, this is 2020. Have an emergency everything. Even stadium, just ask the 49ers.
