PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers' locker room has gone from restrictions on games such as pool and pingpong to a recreation-free zone.

Coach Mike Tomlin has banned all games in the locker room after the team's 0-4 start, extending a prohibition that had applied to only players with less than four years of experience.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette earlier reported Tomlin's edict.

"It makes everything focus on football right now," left guard Ramon Foster said, "which is A-OK with me."

Free safety Ryan Clark agreed.

"Nobody is really tripping about it," the 12th-year veteran said. "We understand the spirit in which it's done in, and we're just playing football."
