Hall doubled down on the importance of staying focused for the Steelers. “And this is a roster that can do it. So I think this team has to continue to be honest with itself.
“He (Tomlin) was brutally honest. ‘Man, we look like a JV team.’ You can’t hold punches if you want to win Super Bowls. You can’t go in there, even though you know it was a win, and think everything is hunky-dory.”
