Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers failed to move to 2-0 in their home opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Unfortunately, the team made too many mistakes and ended up losing their Week 2 matchup by a final score of 31-17.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin met with the media on Tuesday and gave injury updates on a handful of players, including defensive lineman Derrick Harmon, safety DeShon Elliott, cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
