5 changes the Steelers can make for 2018
“They won the moments…”
“All week everybody was talking about our offense wasn’t going to do good, they were going to shut down our offense”, Jacksonville linebacker Myles Jack said. “We have a couple more games to go and we are pushing forward”. We lost some possession downs on the other side. “Being incredible. Guys like that, you can’t come across all the time”. Obviously, wasn’t himself. Still made plays.
The Steelers did have one more chance to kick off with a second to play after a cosmetic touchdown pass at the end of the game from Roethlisberger to Smith-Schuster. “Give credit to [Antonio Brown]. We needed to help our defense gather their breath and just outscore them”. “So, having the opportunity to be able to continue to play feels awesome”. “It just landed the wrong way … every time you re-injure anything, especially the ankle … it hurt a little bit”. They held opposing quarterbacks to a league-best, 56.8 completion rate in addition to allowing the fewest passing touchdowns on the year. So why not take some innocent lives with me? But as long as he isn’t turning the ball over, the Jaguars will always be in games due to their rushing attack and defense. “We feel we can go all the way”, Hurns said. The Jaguars defense picked up stops when they needed to, and it was enough to get the victory. “And it was my decision”.
But the story of this game, was the absolute resiliency of the Jacksonville Jaguars offense. So many had expected a Steelers-Patriots rematch in the AFC championship game. “We can play them in hell, we can play them in Haiti, we can play them in New England. we’re gonna win”.
Mitchell wasn’t alone. Pittsburgh running back Le’Veon Bell implied Saturday on Twitter that the Steelers were destined to face the Patriots, who had just defeated the Tennessee Titans to punch their own ticket to the AFC Championship Game.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has hinted at retirement for a while, but all indications are that he plans to play next season.
“I hope so”, he said. Roethlisberger has given retirement a thought in the past, but is squashing the off-season retirement rumors early.
Only one player with Alabama football roots was involved in Sunday’s second playoff game between the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings. “I love these guys”, Roethlisberger said following Sunday’s loss. Like I said, it’s tough. You hate to lose at home. “I was down bad last week with the flu and had to fight to get my weight back up this week, but I was ready to come in and do my job”.
