Steelers RB Williams (ankle) out

The Steelers’ high-powered offense has hit the occasional speed bump on the road this season and not even Roethlisberger is immune.

There would be another game.

Beating the Browns 28-12, combined with the Buffalo Bills 22-17 win over the New York Jets, gave the Steelers (10-6) the No. 6 seed in the AFC.

David Richard/AP The Steelers are going to the playoffs, and free safety Mike Mitchell is pumped up. Though both games are close, the Jets are losing right now, making it look like the Steelers could actually get the help they need-if things hold up.

“How hard the guys play to me is the resume”, Pettine said. “All we could do was control what we could control”. We have to make the most of this situation.

Key matchup:Steelers OC Todd Haley and QB Ben Roethlisberger vs. Steelers OC Todd Haley and QB Ben Roethlisberger. Any other combination, and they’re left to lament the games they threw away. Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 16 of 37 passes for 181 yards, but threw three fourth-quarter interceptions in his first game in Buffalo since he was the Bills’ quarterback in 2012.

Last week, the New York Jets were given a present wrapped in bows from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Against the hapless Browns? “We continue to stay together no matter what people say”. We will approach the search for our next football coach and executives to lead our football operations with a clear vision regarding what we need to do to build a successful organization. “But we need to be that way as a team”. They were expected to lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but what is the point of adding insult to injury?

MEDICAL WATCH: Running back DeAngelo Williams left the Browns game in the first half with a right ankle injury and did not return. He’s certainly capable of doing that, but has made some throws in recent weeks that, quite frankly, are headscratchers for a quarterback with his talent. Harrison picked off Browns quarterback Austin Davis after a careless Roethlisberger pass was intercepted to put the Browns in position to take the lead trailing 14-9 in the third quarter. But as it turned out, that wasn’t the case. In the second half, Pryor had a drop and was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct and an illegal shift.

I covered that game in San Diego for the Tribune-Review in Greensburg. It worked out for us. “He got the experience of the length of the year in what we’re doing. We have to come in with a plan and looking to do something”. Cleveland won the game 19-13.

“I’ve got a lot of friends over there, and I want them to be successful, but not at my expense”, Ryan said. “The postseason is a different season. Everybody has to step up and be ready to go”. Cornerback Joe Haden (injured reserve) and cornerback Tramon Williams both missed the game with concussions.

Bryant has had a fine second season in the league despite missing the first five games with a suspension and healthy scratch.

The Steelers, however, aren’t quite ready to heap all the blame on the defense. They upset Pittsburgh the previous week, but couldn’t knock off another division rival.

Williams’ injury brings to mind last year’s playoffs when Bell went down in the regular season finale and was unable to play against the Ravens in the playoffs the following week.

Toussaint doesn’t have a ton of experience.

It was the third straight loss for the Giants (6-10) and finished a third straight losing season and a fourth straight year out of the playoffs.
