Did Mike Tomlin interfere with Jacoby Jones on purpose? | CBS Sports

[CamberRockerCamber]

Come on bart scott. You can't seriously defend tomlin on this one.

[crosbyyacht]

Absolutely right Boomer. A coach never has his back to a play, especially when he knows it's developing in his direction.

[LunasMyDog]

He did it on purpose because after he got away with it on the field, he had a smart ass smirk on his face!!!!

[IJustFiguredThisOut]

For those of you who don't know:

Rule 17, Section 1, Article 1, Non-Player on Field: If any non-player enters the field of play, and in the judgement of the official said party interfere with the play, the referee, after consulting his crew, shall enforce any such penalty or score as the interference warrants. 

Make note of the part where it says "score". The referee has the authority to grant a score to the runner if he believes the runner would have scored if said interference did not occur. I personally believe Jones would have scored if Tomlin was not in the way. Ref had the authority to change it.

U dont expect a guy to run a ko 70 yards. Yeah u do if he already ran one back 90+ yards for a td. Dam Bart i was a fan of you. Just lost all respect for u, 4 defending a deliberate interference. U can c Tomlin peeking over his shoulder to time his assisted tackle right. Only blind people should be debating if it was intentional.
Tomlin was trying to slow him down Dog. And he succeeded. Why u think he was laughing after. If it was accidental it would of been a different expression. 4shizel

I don't really follow what Bart Scott is saying...a three year old could formulate better thoughts.

[tatakainokaizen]

he was obviously trying to stop that play. i'm most upset that they didn't just show some footage of him earlier in the play, getting in position to interfere. it would have been easy to prove it 100% instead of just 95%

[flourbiscuit]

Why would Tomlin be "getting ready to run on the field"? Why would he not "expect a guy to run a kick back 70 yards"? Weak, weak excuses. Steelers*

[kevb]

Played football for years NEVER saw outside interference in a game.

[Hollenthon]

I won't say Tomlin intentionally did this to mess up Jacoby Jones, but it does look suspicious. Good thing Ravens won that game, otherwise this incident would be a lot bigger than it is now.

[davidbrandel]

If I had been the Steelers’ owner I would have fired him during the game.

[KingNoCap]

Let's see.
Why was he staring at the Jumbotron the whole time?
How did he find out at the last second that he was in the field of play?
Why was he not only on the white sidelines, but also partly on the field?
Why did he grin at the Jumbotron for the replay of the kick return?
Why did he do it at this very instant?
Nice try, but you can't get away with this stuff nowadays. 

[Spoiled]

In 2021 Mike Tomlin still a bum for this...

[yungcash]

Tomlin is a cheater and Bart you are Wrong to bruh like FORREAL

[johnthefan]

Coach does what he thinks is best to give his team an advantage. Having said a stupid thing to do. And the ref right there, no penalty??? Luckily the ravens won another close game with those mean ole steelers. Best match up in nfl.

[AJCsr]

When you start off a sentence with,
"Everybody's guilty of doin this."
That's what they call a deflection. Yeah I did something wrong, but what about everybody else...?
Watch this with your glasses on Bart !

[domenicv]

Tomlin should have been banned from the NFL for life

[tonytone]

Mrsalute u commenting on a different topic. This is a topic on Tomlins interference on that KO that was going for a TD. Not on what coach is a players Duh

[tonytone]

I was a fan of bart. Was. Bart defending da skin color obviously. Da pressure of winning over road logic for that play and thats y tomlin threw coushion to the wind, knowing theres over 100 cameras recording on the field. The pressure of winning in this league made him do it deliberately. I could bet my house on that one

[JAMESJJEFFERS]

People who think that was on Purpose obviously never seen a player run off the Bench and tackle a runner. This didn't happen..He had his back to the play and Slow Ass Jacoby Jones ran down that side and got Bawked Down...Raven fans always think someone is cheating..Go Check NE with that silly shit. Don't be Mad because you're still the Browns 😂..He got a fine and nothing like that happen since.. Meanwhile in Baltimore 😕
