‘Buffalo chose Mularkey despite the Steelers’ drop in every major offensive statistic this season. A year after ranking fifth in the league in total offense, the Steelers were 22nd this season, including a rushing attack that ranked 31st. But Mularkey is also a favorite of Bills president Tom Donahoe, a former director of football operations for the Steelers. Donahoe signed Mularkey, a tight end, as a player in 1989, and also led the push for Cowher to hire him as a tight ends coach in 1996.’
