Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills share a moment on Twitter

Pittsburgh advanced to the postseason after beating the Cleveland Browns 28-12, but they had to rely on some help. They will play at AFC North victor Cincinnati on Saturday night.

As Pittsburgh was closing out another win over the rival Browns, Roethlisberger heard the crowd roar without anything happening on the field.

“He brings a no-nonsense approach, blue-collar approach that I’m sure Steelers nation will appreciate”, Tomlin said. We are going to have some familiarity, and we know what they’re going to do. Unfortunately for Buffalo, coach Rex Ryan and his team will be eating the sandwiches from the couch as they watch the playoffs. They were able to generate some turnovers and we weren’t able to get any.

Williams has been a savior for the Steelers this season, filling in superbly for star running back Le’Veon Bell after he was lost for the season to a torn MCL suffered in Pittsburgh’s Week 8 loss to the Bengals.

“We have to run the ball better than we did if we want to stay in this tournament for any length of time”, admitted Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. “We just need to have that chain-linked fence effect”.

The Browns (3-13) ended another losing season in disarray.

The Steelers were stopped on their first possession but marched 70 yards the second time they had the ball and scored on a 2-yard pass from Roethlisberger to tight end Heath Miller for a 7-0 lead. The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have fired Jim Tomsula, while the Cleveland Browns announced that they fired Mike Pettine.

“As I have said before, it should be a topic of speculation, given what our results have been”. “That to me is the resume: how hard the guys play, the effort that goes in, how hard we practice, what we do in meeting time, walkthrough, out on the practice field, how that carries over to the game field”.

WHERE’S JOHNNY?: The Browns couldn’t confirm a report that quarterback Johnny Manziel was in Las Vegas.

With Cleveland down just 17-12, linebacker Lawrence Timmons dropped Davis, who fumbled inside the 10-yard line and linebacker Arthur Moats recovered. His two interceptions Sunday left him with six in the past three games and 16 overall, the second most in his career and most since his third season.

Steelers playoff scenario: The Steelers will be in the playoffs with a win and Jets loss. They hugged and high-fived on the sideline and thousands of Pittsburgh fans celebrated as the black-and-gold earned the right to play for the National Football League championship in the Super Bowl’s golden anniversary season.

Brown caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger with 58 seconds left in the half.

“Sitting here as a Pittsburgh Steeler, that’s the expectation to make the playoffs and hoist the Lombardi (Trophy)”, wide receiver Antonio Brown said.

I really didn’t think we’d make the playoffs. According to Gerry Dulac, DeAngelo Williams has only an ankle sprain and will be listed as day to day this week.

“DeAngelo is being evaluated and getting treatment as we speak”, Tomlin said Tuesday. The 29-yard kick was Travis Coons’ fourth field goal of the game. Pettine had two years left on his contract, but Haslam and his wife, Dee, aren’t happy with the direction of their franchise.

Pettine was the team’s seventh full-time coach since 1999, and the team has changed coaches and GMs five times since 2008.

Afterward, Harrison, 37, who played most of the game Sunday because of a minor injury to Jarvis Jones, issued his own state of the union as yet another member of the 2005 team. The polarizing QB was reportedly spotted in Las Vegas instead of being with his teammates for the finale, not a good look for the 23-year-old or the Browns.
