    The Pittsburgh Steelers went into Denver in Week 2 and came away with a 13-6 win over the Broncos. The game lost a bit of its excitement beforehand, though as Russell Wilson, who is public enemy No. 1 in Denver after a failed two-year stint with the Broncos, didn't get to start due to injury.

    Instead, the Steelers rolled with Justin Fields, who did just enough to put the Steelers in position to win the game thanks to a sensational effort from Pittsburgh's defense, which continues to be the backbone of this team.

    After the game, Fields admitted that the Steelers gave Wilson a "petty game ball" after beating his former mates.

    “I think we all know Russ got kind of did dirty last year,” Fields said, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com . “So I know he wished he could have played today in this game, but it’s awesome getting a win for him. He got a petty game ball.”

    When asked about the "petty game ball" for Wilson on Tuesday, head coach Mike Tomlin produced a fantastic quote that included a hot dog reference.

    "None of your businesses, respectfully," Tomlin told reporters, according to Steelers Depot . "There's certain things that go on among teams that I don't talk about. Whether it gets out or how it gets out is unimportant to me, and I'm not overly guarded against it. But there's just certain things as a leader that I talk to the collective about, that I have zero intentions of sharing with the larger public because it's about our collective and how we come together and how we appreciate and support one another. And I can't give you all the ingredients to the hot dog, you might not like it."

    That quote is exactly why Tomlin's pressers remain undefeated. The man just has a way with words that is unlike any other head coach in the NFL.
