Steelers' coach heard using profanity about Pats in Facebook Live video
So much for Antonio Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers keeping a low profile. The star wide receiver filmed the postgame scene in the Steelers' locker room on Facebook Live after an 18-16 win at Kansas City on Sunday, a video that lasted more than 17 minutes and had over 900,000 views just a few hours after it aired. Brown talks to fans in the video, thanking them for their support while joking around with teammates, many of whom are changing out of their uniforms. The Steelers then have a team prayer, followed by coach Mike Tomlin addressing his players. Tomlin isn't seen in the video, but can be heard telling the Steelers that they need to start preparing for the New England Patriots and next Sunday's matchup in the AFC championship game. He uses some expletives, including using a vulgar term to describe the Patriots. Watch Video (WARNING: Video contains profanity) "When you get to this point in the journey, man, not a lot needs to be said. Let's say very little moving forward. Let's start our preparations. We just spotted these a--h---- a day and a half. They played yesterday. Our game got moved to tonight. We're going to touch down at 4 o'clock in the f---ing morning. So be it," Tomlin said in the video, ESPN reported. "We'll be ready for their a--. But you ain't got to tell them we're coming. Tomlin also tells his team to "keep a low profile." Another member of the team is heard saying, "Keep cool on social media. This is about us, nobody else." All while Brown kept rolling for hundreds of thousands to see. NFL teams are often very protective of what goes on in their locker rooms, so it's surprising Brown chose to go live -- and for that long. About halfway into the video, the media arrives in the locker room for interviews. Brown continues to film, with a few teammates making cameos before he signs off. On his weekly interview on WEEI sports radio Monday, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was asked about Brown's video. "That's against, I think, our team policy. I don't think that would go over well with our coach," he said, adding Coach Bill Belichick's policy is don't "show anything that should be private." "What's done in the locker room should stay in the locker room," he said.
