Short memory: If it's been said once, it's been said 1,000 times. A cornerback in the NFL has to have a short memory.
And for James Pierre, the lasting memory will be the end of the Steelers-Broncos game.
Pierre came through with a game-sealing interception in the end zine with 11 seconds to play after having some ups and downs in the game, including having the Broncos come after him multiple times.
"Just young guys. He stayed in the fight," said Tomlin. "Young guys, they are going to come after you. They're going to get some plays. You're going to have to make some plays. It's an education of a corner in the National Football League.
"I appreciate his mentality. He was tough-minded about it and stayed in the fight. I appreciate some of the veteran leadership that he has and support that he has. A guy like Joe Haden talking you through those moments and helping you through a football game is significant. I just can't say enough about Joe's efforts in terms of nurturing him and helping him grow in those ways as well."
Pierre also had a huge play when he tracked down Javonte Williams at the one-yard line following a 49-yard run. The defense ended up stopping the Broncos, holding them to a field goal instead of what could have been a touchdown.
"Big time," said Tomlin. "Big-time hustle play."
