Pittsburgh Steelers vs Buffalo Bills
This wasn’t the first time Bell has been a target.
And that’s particularly true of the Buffalo Bills this afternoon at New Era Field.
The rubber pellets covered the white sideline paint in front of both teams’ benches, as well as large portions behind each end zone.
That is how I view any of the past 17-seasons of the Buffalo Bills except a small handful where they actually were at the bottom of the league. Bell powered through Buffalo’s defense, racking up 298 total yards, including 236 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 38 carries (6.2 yards-per-carry). A 2-1 record in the last three games leaves them with a chance at a wild card berth, but they are not impressing.
If they do miss, safeties Sean Davis and Mike Mitchell – he of the big-hit reputation – will be the last line of defense.
Bills coach Rex Ryan isn’t surprised by Cockrell’s success. “It’s cool to win and have big yards, but we have to win the game, not just win the individual battle”.
We will provide updates on Glenn’s status once the Bills release more information.
“Unfortunately I have a lot of nightmarish memories about Pittsburgh, but I have some good ones too”. It starts there. That has to be their number one goal going into this game with Pittsburgh. You know, I do understand where you’re coming from about had we have beat Oakland, (there’s a) sense that maybe there’s a better possibility to making a playoff push or whatever. Remember the days when the Bills were already clinching a spot by now or talking about resting certain players?
Winning for the third straight game has put the Steelers right back into contention for the playoffs.
“(The Steelers) are playing extremely well …
“I’m assuming I’m going to be the coach”, he said.
Unless we see a drastic change in the last four games, I can see him being asked nicely to go play for a different team next year.
“They’re doing a really good job on defense”. Running back Le’Veon Bell leads the league in yards from scrimmage per game and ranks second in rushing yards per contest. “But we have three games left and we’ll try to win every one of them”.
Six straight times in the fourth quarter last Sunday against NY, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took the snap, turned around and put the ball in the hands of Pittsburgh’s increasingly versatile and seemingly tireless running back.
It could be the last truly meaningful game the Bills play this season, especially if he disappears the way he did against Baltimore in Week One, Miami in Week Seven, and Oakland just last Sunday. “Just get him on the ground however you can”.
“Definitely didn’t play my best”, Taylor said.
James Harrison has pretty much successfully defeated Father Time, who has been previously undefeated and has taken down the likes of Peyton Manning and Brett Favre and will hopefully soon come to claim Tom Brady. “I think it makes us very hard to defend … similar to what it is with Pittsburgh”.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports said Sunday that it would take an “overwhelming performance” down the stretch for Ryan to keep his job.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) Tyrod Taylor remains the Bills starter, and coach Rex Ryan is focused exclusively on winning Buffalo’s final three games, starting with the winless Cleveland Browns this weekend.
Antonio Brown – I don’t think you need me to tell you to start Antonio Brown who’s been one of the best wide receivers in the league for several years. “Then after this season, like everybody on the team, we’re going to do an evaluation and then we’ll go from there”.
“Hopefully, guys can see it and know that we have another great challenge”.
