Tennessee is about to get a taste of Pittsburgh.
Primanti Bros. announced on social media that they’ll be sending sandwiches, topped with fries and coleslaw, to the Tennessee Titans as a way to say thanks for helping the Steelers make the playoffs.
The Steelers learned Sunday, a day after closing out the regular season with a 17-10 win in Baltimore, that they secured a wild-card berth when Tennessee beat Jacksonville, 28-20.
“We all need a little help from our friends,” said Adam Golomb, CEO of Primanti’s, in a statement, according to TribLive news partner WTAE. “And we’ve got a soft spot for (head coach Mike) Vrabel and his squad in Tennessee — unless we’re meeting them on the field. But for today — the Titans were our friends.”
Vrabel, a former linebacker, was drafted by the Steelers in 1997 and was with the team for four years before he joined the New England Patriots in 2001 as a free agent.
The Steelers are entering the postseason as the No. 7 seed in the AFC with a 10-7 record. Buffalo is the No. 2 seed. They beat the Miami Dolphins, 21-14, on Sunday night.
The matchup is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday in Orchard Park, N.Y. The game will be broadcast on CBS.
