Eddie Lacy: 'I'm not angry at Mike Tomlin comments'

Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy has revealed that he won't use comments made by Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin as motivation to play well against them.

Tomlin admitted earlier this week that it was an "easy decision" for him to choose Le'Veon Bell over the former Alabama man in the 2013 Draft.

"I mean, you can use it for motivation, but I'm not one to use external factors for motivation. That's not my personality," Lacy told ESPN.

"To me, it's only temporary. Like, OK, you're mad at this one team, so you play angrily against that team. But then where does it go the next week? You have wasted energy then. So I stay constant."

Lacy reached 1,028 yards on the ground this season, 482 more than Bell.
