Steelers activate LB Bud Dupree, put Heyward, Wheaton on IR

Harrison doesn’t mind. He is more concerned with getting the Steelers back on track this week against Cleveland.

It is also a critical game for the Steelers. Le’Veon Bell had a 1 yard rushing touchdown with just under eight minutes to give the Steelers a 24-23 lead.

“No chance”, he said on a conference call before playing along and rattling off “a buddy of mine” Bruce Gradkowski, Josh McCown, Robert Griffin III and Colt McCoy.

“Everybody’s interested in Bud coming back, as am I, but at the same time, we have to work with the guys who are going to play on Sunday and try to win a football game”, defensive coordinator Keith Butler said.

“Nah, I don’t think so”, Pryor said.

If Cleveland could just put two halves together, it might have something. We still feel very comfortable that we’re capable of being a good football team. “I was real mad, but I just had to learn how to deal with it”. Or will the Steelers get back on track?

Maybe, but the loss of their most consistent defensive player will make achieving those goals far tougher.

If they don’t? We might all be running out of excuses.

“I would like to thank everyone who has been in my corner this season”, Heyward wrote in an Instagram post Tuesday. “We’ve got to beat them”. “There are lots of things floated to me, but how things turn out I don’t have anything to do with”.

Question: The defense is 25th in the league and, while not as porous as the Browns, have given up 27 or more points in three of their past four games. Wide receiver Antonio Brown was flagged for twerking in the end zone one week, and did something similar the next week, with the same results.

“Terrelle Pryor isn’t just an fantastic talent, but he also has the will to be great”, said Brown. “You see how that turned out”.

“It always amazes me how the NFL Network, like do they bug everything?” He wanted it. He has the right attitude, the right approach. Tom: The Move wins every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

It’s also important to note Rodgers’ out route kept Leon McFadden in the flats and prevented him from floating back into the throwing lane to Brown. Pittsburgh has run 580 plays and accumulated 3,331 total yards, ranking their offense 12th overall.

The Steelers and Browns have played each other 128 times, with the Steelers holding a 68-58 advantage in the regular season. As you guys all know, we have been up at halftime on about six of these opportunities. “If we can take something from someone else to make our game better we should”. Four of Pittsburgh’s next five games are on the road and even the luckless Browns hardly seem like a pushover for a team that hasn’t won away from Heinz Field since Week 1. Despite the record, despite the success, he still sees the Browns as a big rival.

Rumors are going around that say there are Browns fans looking to hold a parade to celebrate in the event the team goes 0-16. “Especially for me personally”. “It is Ohio. It is the Browns”.

Chris: “The AFC North is a mess this year, but I’m still viewing the Steelers as the favorites to take the division”.

The Steelers have dominated the rivalry since the Browns returned to the league in 1999 – 29-6 – but the turnpike tussle still resonates with Roethlisberger.
