PITTSBURGH (AP)—Ryan Clark sat down in Mike Tomlin’s office and did something a little out of character for the normally verbose Pittsburgh Steelers safety. He listened.

I'm a diehard Pats fan, but I'm impressed that Mike Tomlin is doing the right thing here with sitting Ryan Clark. He is right - football players have a switch that is flipped off when we play - we have a blatant disregard for our bodies and our own safety. A player that is afraid of getting hurt will get hurt, guaranteed. I'm glad Tomlin took it out of his hands. He values his own player's health and safety over winning a game. Would Rex Ryan do that? I'm thinking not.
It's not often I praise the Steelers. Don't get used to it, Pittsburgh.
