But I agree if things got bad and Landy crapped the bed they were ready to throw Ben in to try and avoid another divisional loss. And I think that's more Tomlin being desperate than him being smart. Because while I enjoy the new, more aggressive Tomlin as coach I don't think it would be this way without the couple bad losses earlier in the season.

Yeah, they had a good idea it was going to be necessary.
