Roethlisberger cleared to practice for Steelers

On the season, the Indianapolis Colts average 253.0 yards in passing and 92.0 yards in rushing. Bryant’s 88-yard reception against the Arizona Cardinals is the longest in the league this season.

Brown had a field day against Indianapolis last season, catching 10 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns.

“We can try”, Leibman said with a laugh.

The Steelers obviously saw this coming, which is why they spent two picks in this year’s draft on cornerbacks and agreed to send another draft choice next year to acquire veteran Brandon Boykin. It should be a great matchup. He’s been a productive guy when given an opportunity in the NFL. They want to compete against the best guys. But Williams broke CB Jeremy Lane’s attempted tackle and then ran through LB Bobby Wagner and CB Richard Sherman on the way to moving the chains and making any potential fourth-down contemplation unnecessary. “I guess if you’re allowed to practice, you can play“.

Coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers took ownership of a couple of controversial coaching decisions in the loss to Seattle.

“This is a nice confidence boost for us”, Okung said.

“I took the test this morning”, Roethlisberger said. “I could see straightforward no problem. All of that is very evident in his production and comes out in his play“.

They’ve been decent in terms of points allowed this season (20.9 points per game), but it’s hard to have any confidence in the Steelers’ defense and special teams after last week’s debacle.

“We need to be smarter as football players”, Roethlisberger said. Roethlisberger has missed four games this season and parts of four others.

Who would have thought that a defense could give up more than 25 points and a record number in passing yardage and still play the deciding factor in the game?

There were plenty of standout moments for Seattle, none bigger than Russell Wilson’s five touchdown passes and three of those going to Doug Baldwin, including his 80-yard catch-and-run TD with 2:01 left that provided Seattle the final cushion it needed.

“It’s not like I’m woozy, dizzy, falling down”, Roethlisberger said. It was a big play. He’s had plays he should have made that he didn’t.

The Colts are on a roll right now, winning three straight games to hold on to the AFC South lead. “We put him on the field first and we’ll continue to do that”.

Here’s a look at the signal-callers the Hawks will face over the next month, with TD/INT ratio and passer rating. When we strip away everything else, it really is that simple: if you’re going to lose, it’s best to lose to the other conference.

NOTES: LB Ryan Shazier (knee) and CB Brandon Boykin (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

The Steelers appeared to consistently keep a pass rusher in contain-mode at the line of scrimmage _ usually a defensive lineman or a linebacker _ and in position to move laterally to the left or right along the line of scrimmage with Wilson if necessary.
