One of Pittsburgh’s top players is out of Sunday’s game
An even more, damning stat, is Manning’s stats and point differential in those games.
He will not, however, sign a Terrible Towel.
The Steelers beat the Broncos, 34-27, December 20 at Heinz Field.
Ben Roethlisberger will bear a heavy burden in Sunday’s AFC divisional game, but can he successfully carry his team’s offense? The game will be broadcast on ABC. “I’ll be excited, she’ll be excited”, said Thomas, whose mother and grandmother were arrested and incarcerated when he was 11; he went to live with an uncle. “That’s their towel. I don’t sign Giants hats”.
“We’ve been without people before”.
“I’ll sign a towel, but that’s the Pittsburgh Steeler towel”. Last season’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and the heartbreaking overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens were played in the cold. He led them to big wins to, winning over the New England Patriots and the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Denver Broncos have had a lot of media attention lately, and that’s not surprising when you have a high profile quarterback on your team that’s in a bit of a QB controversy.
Coach Mike Tomlin said he liked what he saw today from Ben Roethlisberger, who returned to practice for the first time this week after sustaining a right shoulder separation and damaging some ligaments in the AFC wild-card playoff victory in Cincinnati. Roethlisberger participated in Friday’s practice.
The numbers will say Antonio Brown is arguably the best in the National Football League as he tied for No. 1 in receptions (136) and ranked No. 2 in yards (1,834) during the regular season.
Burfict, who earlier made what appeared to be a game-clinching interception, hit Brown with his shoulder after a pass intended for the receiver sailed incomplete over his head.
The six fines were announced six days after the Bengals were beaten 18-16 by Pittsburgh in Saturday’s drama-filled contest at Paul Brown Stadium. “He’s playing, so we’re going to prepare the same way – simple as that”.
Without Brown, the Steelers will turn to second-year receiver Martavis Bryant and third-year receiver Markus Wheaton for more production.
How teams compare statistically. Expect the Steelers to empty their bag of play-calling tricks on Sunday as they look for strategic advantages to help mitigate their injury problems.
That in itself will be something to keep an eye on, given the platoon of unfamiliar or sparsely used faces that can suddenly emerge to prominence as a result of how things have played out in terms of health-not to mention the absence of Antonio Brown.
