Earlier this month, Mike Tomlin was asked what he had learned about his receivers in the absence of the group\u2019s star, George Pickens, through injury.

As ever though, the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach expressed his faith in his players. \u201cWe believe in our group. I have said that repeatedly and maybe you will start believing me,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a bunch of guys who want to be the reason we are successful,\u201d the 52-year-old continued.
