Chris Boswell: Serial Killer

On Sunday, the Steelers started the 2025 NFL season with a 34-32 win over the New York Jets. While the game featured quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields facing their former teams, one of the big stories was Steelers kicker Chris Boswell hitting a 60-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter to essentially win the game. A 60-yard field goal is extremely difficult, particularly with a roaring crowd in a pressure situation.

Following the game, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said this about Boswell at the 3:30 mark of the video:

You heard that correctly. Tomlin called Boswell a serial killer. And meant that as a compliment. Maybe Tomlin recently watched the new version of Dexter featuring a "good" type of serial killer who only kills bad people. Or perhaps Tomlin saw the Netflix show Mindhunter (filmed in Pittsburgh), where FBI agents interview serial killers to try to understand their behavior. I don't remember the killers talking about a low pulse rate, which is something that Tomlin attributed to Boswell though. (Maybe Tomlin's statement is a setup to get Mindhunter to return for a third season or even as a movie. If Tomlin helps motivate show creator David Fincher to make this happen, Tomlin should immediately get inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame and get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! And Boswell needs to be in the show/movie too!)

In future weeks, Tomlin should accuse Boswell of other crimes. The next time Boswell makes a game-winning kick, Tomlin should refer to Boswell an arsonist. Since he’s on fire! (And yes, an arsonist starts fires and aren't actually on fire.) Or maybe a thief. You know since Boswell stole the hearts of opposing teams’ players and fans. Boswell is definitely a money launderer since he’s clearly money making the kicks. He is so money, baby!
