Steelers RB DeAngelo Williams “day to day” with foot injury
Meanwhile, the Steelers after cruising to a win over the woeful Cleveland Browns needed the Jets to lose in order to qualify.
They’re in. And they’re unsafe.
After a stunning loss last week in Baltimore, the Steelers (10-6) were in a predicament.
Pittsburgh pulled off its parlay on the Great Lakes.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Williams is “day to day” after injuring his right leg in last weekend’s victory over Cleveland. “We just need to have that chain-linked fence effect”.
Leading comfortably in the closing minutes, Roethlisberger heard the crowd roar. Pittsburgh-based restaurant chain Primanti Brothers rewarded the Bills for the assist by sending an order of sandwiches – complete with French fries and cole slaw on top – to Buffalo as a “thank you”.
It’s unlikely the Steelers will look for a replacement on the outside like they did with Ben Tate a year ago, so that means if Williams is out, the Steelers will once again be forced to try and win without a key contributor-seems reasonable considering it’s been the theme since training camp began. This is why when I see the bad performance that occurred this Sunday by the star quarterback, which may cost the Steelers a playoff berth, I can give him a pass. Yes, it sure sounds like Week 17 for the Cleveland Browns. They are in as a wild-card participant, the No. 6 seed, and play at No. 3 seed Cincinnati on Saturday night. The Steelers signed Ben Tate before a playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens in 2015 after Le’Veon Bell went down.
While in Georgia, the players ate breakfast daily at the Waffle House, spent the afternoon on the water, went on private jet rides and had catered meals – Roethlisberger picked up the entire tab.
Skrine, in his fifth year, has never been a part of a team that won more than seven games in one season.
“Sitting here as a Pittsburgh Steeler, that’s the expectation to make the playoffs and hoist the Lombardi (Trophy)”, wide receiver Antonio Brown said. Along with strong leaders, we need to build out a strategic plan, stay disciplined to it, and develop the right systems and processes to make better decisions for short and long-term success.
The Browns (3-13) ended another losing season in disarray and doubt. Even heading into this week, though, it was very much expected that this would be the final game Mike Pettine would coach the team. He leads Pittsburgh with 10 pass breakups and also contributed a pair of interceptions. It’s kind of ironic that we’re in the same situation as Pittsburgh was last week, ” linebacker Trevor Reilly said.
Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter and did not return. “He’s being evaluated and getting treatment as we speak”.
SEARCH STARTED: With help from a consulting firm, Haslam intends to first hire his new coach and then find a GM. He also broke his single-season club records for receptions and yards. While his teammates finished the season, Manziel was reportedly in Las Vegas. The Jets’ offensive stats this season are such a stark contrast to recent memory that one might think no one remains from last year’s team.
