Running back Rashard Mendenhall said he learned his lesson after not playing on offense against the Bengals. Mendenhall didn’t see action for what Coach Mike Tomlin said was a result of him not being on “the details” during the week of preparation leading up to the game.

“It’s just a learning experience,” said Mendenhall. “You learn in the NFL that minor things are major so be on top of everything. You have to have a week of practice that’s good and up to standards to be able to play. It was a learning experience through the whole week and that’s over now.”

Mendenhall plans on spending more time in his playbook and focusing on the small details, understanding how important they are.

“You learn to do everything you can,” said Mendenhall. “As hard as you’re working, you have to work a little bit harder. This organization demands perfection and I plan on doing that.

“It’s frustrating. You want to take advantage of opportunities, you want to prove to the team and to the organization what you can do, but I wasn’t able to do that this week. I’m just looking forward to this week of practice and this game. I’m just looking forward to getting an opportunity and be able to play and show fans and teammates what I’m able to do.”
