Ben Roethlisberger: Shouldn’t be limited

“We’re going to have to beat the Steelers with Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback at a few point in time this season to get to where we want to go, so why not on Sunday?” The Steelers have won three in a row, eight of the past 10 and are 30-15 in games played in Pittsburgh. “I don’t think it was a negative injury, or more of an injury type of setback”. “I don’t have a standard, but I just know what I did last week or what I did the week before, I know I can do better the following week”.

“I’m not going to monitor it personally”, Tomlin said. Roethlisberger is not opposed to throwing to Bryant, as they have connected on several big plays in the past, but they have not played together since last season.

BANGED-UP BACKFIELD: The Steelers’ William Gay hurt his shoulder and fellow cornerback Antwon Blake was checked for a concussion during the game.

Jones relieved the injured and struggling Michael Vick in the second half of last week’s 25-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Due up are the 6-0 AFC North-leading Cincinnati Bengals.

The fourth-year pro was part of a shakeup on Sunday that saw three position changes on the Chiefs offensive line against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This Bengals team has an opportunity to do what no Bengals team has ever done-go 7-0-but first, it must overcome its most crucial matchup so far this season in its upcoming Week 8 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. “Staying aggressive in all three facets of the game”. Cincinnati QB Andy Dalton has completed 67.4 percent of his passes with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions. The bottom line is he had to do a better job of protecting the ball if the Steelers were going to win.

In nine career meetings, Brown has burned the Bengals for 49 catches and 741 yards – his most versus any opponent – and six total touchdowns, including three on punt returns. Even though the heavily relied on Travis Kelce has now played one more game than Malcin, he trails No. 19 in both receptions and receiving yards.

It began when Jones threw a pass over the middle that skipped away from Brown and right to Berry, who reacted quickly enough to make the diving interception. As the Steelers the immediately marched down the field for a touchdown of their own, I got a sinking feeling and was already thinking I would have to write about another blown lead. Finally, Le’Veon Bell can swing out of the backfield and cause chaos as well. West averaged five yards per rush, with a long run of 36 yards. But it’s not one that head coach Mike Tomlin may be making permanent.

The Steelers defense couldn’t shut down an injury-plagued Chiefs offense.

Matt Cassel made his starting debut with the Cowboys, hitting on 17-of-27 passes for 227 yards and one touchdown.

Considering he exited the third game of the season at St. Louis early in the third quarter and finished with only 192 yards, his yards per game average is skewed lower than it should be.

Running back Charcandrick West rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries, his first career 100-yard rushing game. “Anytime you have a guy of that caliber, it rejuvenates, revitalizes and gets everyone excited”.
