PITTSBURGH -- Mike Tomlin was "mesmerized." He was also, the Pittsburgh Steelers coach admits, out of position. Way out of position. Tomlin was so awed by the way Baltimores Jacoby Jones raced through the Steelers crumbling kickoff return unit in the third quarter Thanksgiving night, Tomlin couldnt take himself away from watching it all unfold in high definition on one of M&T Stadiums video boards. Only when Tomlin -- standing on the white strip of grass meant to separate the playing field from the sideline -- saw his black-and-gold jacket and black baseball cap flash across the screen did he realize it might be a good time to move. Too late. As Tomlin danced to his left, Jones edged right to avoid bowling the coach over. Pittsburghs Cortez Allen made the tackle after a 73-yard return, a bizarre play that will be remembered far longer than Baltimores eventual 22-20 victory. Its an ill-timed two-step the 41-year-old Tomlin allows was a lot of things, namely "embarrassing, inexcusable, illegal and a blunder." The one thing it wasnt, he insists, was intentional. "The thought that it could be perceived as intentional never even crossed my mind," Tomlin said Tuesday during a lengthy and candid apology. "I realized I fell short of the expectations of my position in being where I was and my actions on the play. I am not one to seek comfort from that standpoint, so I was just going to take my medicine." Tomlin was not flagged on the play, and pointed out he was following his normal routine when he stood at the Pittsburgh 35 following a touchdown that pulled the Steelers within 13-7 midway through the third quarter. He prefers to watch kickoffs on stadium scoreboards because it gives him a better perspective on how the play is developing and couldnt recall a specific time when officials told him to step back. Still, Tomlin declined to use that as an excuse while communicating with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league officials Monday. Tomlin said he had no plans to fight whatever disciplinary action the league decides to hand out. "I dont know what a just punishment is," he said. "I have no idea. Im not acting in a way to preserve my wallet and my money. My wallet and my money is what it is because of the game of football." The NFL fined the New York Jets $100,000 in 2010 when cameras caught strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi tripping a Miami player on the sideline. Alosi was suspended by the Jets and eventually resigned after the season. While Tomlins job status is certainly not in jeopardy, he is aware critics believe he was attempting to gain a competitive advantage. Its why he felt the need to speak up. "Its been shocking to me that my actions could have been or have been perceived in any way intentional," he said. Which is why Tomlin was a little surprised his sons told him the incident kept coming up during the usual Sunday NFL TV coverage. "When I realized the integrity of the game became the chief issue in the discussion, it was an opportunity and the time was appropriate to set the record straight," he said. Tomlin acknowledged there was a memo sent out by the league last week asking coaches to be more mindful of where they stand on the sideline. He said he might have missed it because the Steelers were facing the Ravens on a short week. Regardless, he stressed he will do a better job "policing" himself in the future and stay out of harms way. He still plans on watching kickoffs on video boards. He just plans to do it from a safer (and legal) vantage point. As for whether his public expression of remorse could have any effect on whatever fine is coming his way, Tomlin considered it the least of his problems. "I guess, he said, "we will all make due." ---- NOTES: DE Brett Keisel will miss Sundays game against Miami (6-6) after aggravating a left foot injury against the Ravens. ...

NASHVILLE -- Carter Hutton finished off his stellar week with another good performance. Hutton made 36 saves to lead the Nashville Predators to a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night. Eric Nystrom, Roman Josi, and Viktor Stalberg scored for Nashville, which has won three straight. Making his third consecutive start, Hutton stopped eight in the first, 10 in the second, and 18 in the third. "They are a pretty solid team, and they are going to get their chances," Hutton said. "We kind of bent, but we didnt break. We weathered the storm and held on for a big two points." Earlier this week, Hutton backstopped the Predators to wins Tuesday in New York against the Rangers and Thursday at home against Dallas. He ended the week with a 3-0-0 record, stopping 97 of the 101 shots he faced. Dan Boyle and Patrick Marleau scored for San Jose, losers of five of their past six. Nystrom scored the games first goal at 16:04 of the opening period. From above the left faceoff circle, Predators defenceman Victor Bartley sent a wrist shot toward the San Jose goal. The puck deflected off Nystroms leg, then his stick and into the net for his sixth goal of the season. Nystrom is just one goal off the Nashville team lead. Entering Saturday, San Jose had outscored opponents 42-14 in the first period this season. Nashville is 12-0-1 when leading after one period this season. Josi doubled the Nashville lead at 18:08 of the second. With the Predators on a power play, Craig Smith had the puck below the San Jose goal line. He found Josi all alone at the centre of the blue line, and the Swiss defenceman skated into the slot and beat Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi with a wrist shot high to the glove side.dddddddddddd "We had a great battle in the corner, I think there four of their guys against our three guys, and we won the puck," Josi said. "That was huge and (Smith) made a great play to me." The Sharks had not allowed a power-play goal in their previous four games. "Every game we play it seems the team that wins the special teams play, wins the game," San Jose captain Joe Thornton said. "Tonight they got the one power-play goal and we didnt, and thats basically what the NHL comes down to right now, who is better on special teams." San Jose got on the board at 7:28 of the third when Boyle redirected Matt Irwins shot from the high slot past Hutton for his sixth of the season. "We werent nearly aggressive enough," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. "Its amazing, in the third when we played on the inside a little bit more, we got more second chances, kept the forecheck alive, we were a much different team. Im a bit disappointed in the first period and a half to two periods." Nashville regained its two-goal lead at 17:21 of the third when Stalberg carried the puck down the left side and beat Niemi with a wrist shot from above the left faceoff dot. "That was huge," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "That ended up being a real important goal, the game-winning goal." Marleau drew the Sharks within one with 54.6 seconds remaining in the third when he tipped home a nice pass from Boyle. Notes: Josi has points in four consecutive games. ... Smith returned to the Nashville lineup after missing the past three with flu-like symptoms. ... Boyle leads Sharks defencemen with 17 points this season.
