Raiders player could be charged for barking at police dog

The Pittsburgh Steelers may find themselves without the services of Ben Roethlisberger for a couple of weeks as he has suffered a foot injury in the Steelers week 9 game. On the ground, DeAngelo Williams had 170 yards and two touchdowns in 27 attempts.

Conversely, Jones has spent his three-year career with the Steelers since being their fourth-round draft pick from Oklahoma in 2013 is well versed in offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s schemes.

Roethlisberger ended Sunday’s game 24 of 44 for 334 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

“Hopefully it will turn out better for me this time”, Jones said about possibly facing Johnny Manziel, whom he squared off against in college.

Just when it looked as if the Steelers might be able to navigate the rest of the season without All-Pro Le’Veon Bell, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went down with what originally was believed to be a serious left foot injury.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (7) is injured as he is tackled by Oakland Raiders outside linebacker Aldon Smith (99) in the fourth quarter of an NFL football game Sunday, November 8, 2015, in Pittsburgh. “We just got down there at the end, had an opportunity”. Roethlisberger missed four games earlier this season with a sprained left knee. He turned a slant pattern into the splash play needed to set up Boswell, hauling in the pass in the middle of the field then taking off down the sideline. And though the offense did a fantastic job of keeping the team in the game by coming back time and time again, they ran out of time and chances to overcome yet another defensive collapse. The rising second-year star passed for 301 yards and four scores, including a pretty 38-yard rainbow to Michael Crabtree that tied the game with 1:15 to go. “I could tell that he was confident”. Jones promised to be ready. “I can walk on it”, Roethlisberger said.

“He makes checks with (Brown)”, Steelers safety Mike Mitchell said. Despite those plays being performed multiple times in every National Football League game and never being called, the Steelers didn’t shy away from going back to the well one more time, and it worked to perfection.

Jones stepped in for Roethlisberger on Sunday and set up the winning field goal with a 57-yard pass to Brown in the final minute. He’s a competitor, and more importantly, than that, he’s a hard and detailed worker.

Talking on 95.7-The Game, former Raider and current Fox broadcaster Lincoln Kennedy said that the dog began barking at Armstrong as he passed by before Armstrong responded.

Brown had the biggest performance of any wide receiver in recent memory, setting a pair of team records with 17 receptions for 284 yards on a whopping 23 targets.

The schedule at least offers the Steelers a bit of a break.
