Jalen Ramsey Calls 'Fire Tomlin' Chants 'Bulls--t' as Steelers Weigh Tomlin's Future

The comment spotlights locker-room backing ahead of a March 1 deadline on the team's 2027 option.

Overview

  • Ramsey delivered the rebuke Saturday when asked about chants that followed Pittsburgh’s Nov. 30 home loss to Buffalo, calling them comical.
  • Fans at Acrisure Stadium chanted for Mike Tomlin’s firing after the 26-7 defeat that dropped the Steelers to 6-6, and Tomlin said he shared their frustration that night.
  • Pittsburgh moved to 7-6 with a Week 14 win over the Ravens and now hosts Miami on Monday, with playoff odds reaching 74% with a victory, per NFL Next Gen Stats.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the franchise is not expected to make an in-season coaching change, with a decision due by March 1 on Tomlin’s 2027 option.
  • Persistent fan discontent stems from recent postseason results, as the Steelers have reached the playoffs in five of the last eight years without a win and have not celebrated a home playoff victory since January 2017.
