Bell’s late TD lifts Steelers to 24-20 win over Chargers
In an interview on ESPN shortly after his game-winning touchdown run, Bell said he thought he had time to run and if he fell short call a timeout.
Vick’s touchdown catch prompted celebrations from much of the team.
With Ben Roethlisberger expected to be out until at least Week 8, Pittsburgh has no choice but to put Vick in the best situation to lead the team to a win. “Obviously, my guy at quarterback, Mike Vick out there is playing conservative, to make sure we get the win”.
Dallas coach Jason Garrett has informed quarterback Brandon Weeden that he is no longer the team’s starter, a source told The Dallas Morning News. The Steelers then drove 80 yards in 12 plays for the win.
On the Chargers’ ensuing drive, they tied the game at 10-10 with a successful 40 yard field goal by placekicker Josh Lambo.
Offensive Line- The Steelers came out wanting to run the ball and Bell averaged 5.3 yards per carry on the night. After a San Diego field goal and touchdown, giving them back the lead 17-10, the Steelers got exactly what the doctor ordered. Rivers fired a pass down the middle that ended up in the hands of Steelers cornerback Antwon Blake. “Don’t be afraid to take a shot down the field”. It was during this drive that Vick ran for 24 yards.
Bell took the direct snap, ran left and was slowed in traffic before diving for the end zone and getting the ball across the line as Donald Butler dragged him down. It wasn’t noticed by anyone until after the game was over.
For the second week in a row, the National Football League acknowledged an officiating error in a nationally televised game.
Bell scored on a wildcat run as time expired to give the Steelers the victory. We know what Pittsburgh Steelers defense is all about.
Roethlisberger said the determining factor in being game ready will be when he feels he is mobile enough to protect himself.
Brown’s presence has helped the Steelers without the ball going his way – he drew extra coverage on Monday’s 72-yard touchdown pass to Markus Wheaton – but the wideout says he wants Vick to feel comfortable throwing the ball his way under any circumstances.
Even with Forsett’s gaudy numbers added in, opposing running backs have 399 rushing yards in five games. The Steelers had 27 carries for 155 yards. The win moved their record to 3-2, and working on a short week with the 4-1 Arizona Cardinals coming to Heinz Field in Week 6. Both the Steelers and the Chargers should be upset that this happened. Tomlin said inside linebacker Ryan Shazier will likely play on Sunday after missing a third straight game with a shoulder injury.
