Cardinals QB Palmer shaky in defeat

Vick, who was evaluated for a hamstring injury, has not played well since taking over for an injured Ben Roethlisberger in Week 3, throwing for less than 300 yards in his past 10 quarters of play, including a 3-of-8 performance for 6 yards in two-plus quarters Sunday. Jones completed 8 of 12 passes for 168 yards and the two scores, but it was the receiver who is most impressive.

Antonio Brown isn’t happy about not getting the ball enough from backup quarterbacks Mike Vick and Landry Jones.

With Ben Roethlisberger still recovering from a knee sprain, Michael Vick stepped in once again for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Of course, Kinkhabwala’s tweet leaves the door slightly open for Vick to suit up on Sunday, but considering Jones outperformed Vick on the way to a victory, it’d be surprising if he dressed in anything more than an emergency role. While a few may call for Vick to return until Ben Roethlisberger is healthy, Jones should stay under center for one enormous reason: familiarity.

Jones found Bryant for an 8-yard touchdown that put the Steelers in front, the second of five straight second-half possessions in which Pittsburgh scored. The running backs averaged under four yards per carry on the day, which isn’t good, but once the switch at quarterback was made, they did a better job creating holes for Bell.

Dwight Freeney made his Arizona Cardinals and 2015 season debut Sunday in Pittsburgh. Cardinals TE Darren Fells left the game in the third quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return. Of course neither Bryant nor Brown had much of a chance to contribute until Jones came into the game.

“I thought when a third-string quarterback comes in, they were going to run the ball”, Campbell said. His second throw in the third quarter was an eight-yard touchdown pass to Martavis Bryant. There were just too many mistakes that added up altogether that forcefully allowed the Steelers to take control and make things all too easy. He tried to find John Brown in the end zone but did not see the safety up the middle.

Conventional wisdom also held that the Steelers couldn’t have earned a better character victory than the one they orchestrated a week earlier in San Diego. On one Steelers drive, Arizona gifted them 35 yards and a field goal by Chris Boswell that cut Arizona’s lead to 7-3.

Special Teams- Jordan Berry had a 79-yard punt, but one of the heroes of the day was kicker Chris Boswell, who in his second National Football League game knocked down four big field goal. The Arizona Cardinals defense had been the warm-up act. Jones highlighted the resiliency of the Pittsburgh Steelers as he said the team showed everyone the kind of team they are in their game against the Arizona Cardinals. Boswell was also great, going 4-for-4 on field goals. We just have to execute them better.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. He is in his second season with the Steelers after signing as a free agent. On that scoring drive, the Cardinals committed a personal foul penalty and were called for offsides, aiding an otherwise ineffective offense that managed just 6 yards passing in the first two quarters under the direction of Vick.
