Chiefs turn back Steelers to snap 5-game losing streak
Not your typical AFC North showdown. Their starting quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, has been out several weeks, yet their record without him stands at a cool 3-1.
The joy of winning their second straigh American League pennant has probably come and gone, as the Kansas City Royals gladly move thier focus to the World Series and the New York Mets. “We don’t have any reservations or limitations about his availability”. We’ll let him do his job.
“We made a decision to go with the guy that had the practice reps”.
So that takes care of that.
Stay tuned to BTSC for the most up-to-date information on all things surrounding the Steelers as they prepare for the 6-0 Bengals. Houston has not been getting to the passer over the past couple of games but still gets pressure consistently.
Just four plays later, Smith found rookie Chris Conley in the flat for the 6-yard touchdown pass-the first of Conley’s career, and it gave them the 23-13 lead and ultimately sealed the win.
CV is very excited for this season now since the Steelers are showing great signs of hope to get better. Two of Dustin Colquitt’s three punts went for touchbacks, while the one that didn’t only went for 2 yards.
ED: You may also have noticed that the Steelers were without their best quarterback, their best center, their best left tackle, their best left defensive end and their best safety maybe?

“Tyler Eifert is their talented young tight end”.
But the issues in this contest extend beyond the on-field play.

“At this juncture we’re not going to assume Ben will be limited from a mobility standpoint”, said Tomlin.

Allen, who spent a majority of the 2014 campaign on injured reserve after suffering elbow and bicep injuries in the season opener, sustained a knee injury in the opening preseason game on August. 15.
The Chiefs were able to overcome numerous injuries coming in, as Ramik Wilson and Mike DeVito’s play was missed but not a crucial blow.
Tomlin described that the quarterback situation isn’t reshuffled or reorganized at this point just yet and wouldn’t commit to saying with Roethlisberger back that Landry Jones would be the backup quarterback. West, unsurprisingly, cannot, nor should the team expect that of him.
The Steelers have reduced their penalties from last season when penalties are up all over the NFL.
The Bengals special teams are going to be in their own dogfight before they even meet the Steelers.
— YOU: Are the Steelers back in the old way of beating the good teams and losing to bad/mediocre etc…teams. “They’re going to come here and try to do the same thing we did to them at their place”.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely.
I fully admit that I was a doubter of Kansas City Chiefs running back Chacandrick West. With a win this week, you can pretty much call them a lock. “We utilized officials at practice, and I think that’s helped us a few”.
