DeShon Elliott appears to reference 9-11 using Osama Bin Laden, Mike Tomlin in New York Jets troll

In a social media post Tuesday evening, Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott appeared to reference 9-11 in a troll of the New York Jets. His post included an apparent reference to Osama Bin Laden and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.

Elliott shared the post, which included photos from last week’s win and a screenshot that appeared to feature Tomlin’s face Photoshopped onto Bin Laden’s. He also added a caption “Osama Bin Tomlin” to the post.

Bin Laden was a former leader of al-Qaeda and oversaw the 9-11 attacks on New York City in 2001. He was killed by U.S. forces in May 2011.

DeShon Elliott totaled six tackles in last week’s victory over the Raiders, which moved the Steelers to 4-2 on the season. That helped set up a primetime matchup against the Jets on Sunday Night Football this week – although Pittsburgh could make a major change at the quarterback spot for the game.

Justin Fields started the first six games of the season while Russell Wilson worked his way back from a calf injury. It appears the former Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos quarterback is close to healthy as he will take reps with the starters this week. In fact, he could be in line to get the start.

“Last week we were scheduled for Russ to work in totality,” Tomlin said, via The Pat McAfee Show’s Mark Kaboly. “He did that. Over the course of the week, I got comfortable with his ability to display his health. Now, it’s about knocking the rust off. He did some of that last week, and he is in consideration this week. We’ll see where that leads us. Both guys at the quarterback position are scheduled to work tomorrow. We’ll just walk it day by day. All geared towards putting ourselves in the best position to win the football game.”

Pittsburgh ranks as the No. 26 ranked offense in the NFL, averaging just 298.3 yards per game. The defense has led the way, surrendering only 14.3 points per game. Fields has thrown for 1,106 yards, five touchdowns and one interception on 66.3% passing. His legs have bailed out the Steelers at times, as he has rushed for 231 yards and five scores.
