New Steelers coach Mike Tomlin did not accuse New England of cheating, but said the rumors have been around and "where there is smoke, there's fire.''
Tomlin, at his press conference today, responded to the allegations that the Patriots have used cameras illegally to focus on opposing coaches along the sideline in order to steal their signals.
"In terms of confirming it, it's never been confirmed in any instances to my knowledge," Tomlin said. "But usually, where there is smoke, there's fire. Those rumors are founded on something. So it's not totally shocking, no."
Tomlin also said that starting cornerback Deshea Townsend's groin injury might keep him out of a few practices this week. He said backup linebacker Clint Kriewaldt has a minor shoulder injury. Neither is expected to miss Sunday's game against Buffalo in Heinz Field.
