Steelers back Williams officially out against Bengals

The players and coaches are human, and it will be impossible for them to not have thoughts of their past playoff failures creep into their minds if they fall behind early. In the evening, the Steelers and Bengals match up in an AFC North game.

Umm, let’s talk about something else. It’s just the way he approaches the game. Forget that rivalry stuff. “It really doesn’t matter who it is or what division they’re from”. Teams got into scuffle during pregame warmups December 13, but nobody was fined. Pittsburgh has played 56 postseason games, trailing Dallas (60) for most all time.

The Steelers play the Bengals in the first round of the playoffs at 8:15 p.m. ET on Saturday. They allowed a 79 passer rating, fifth best in the NFL.

Obviously, that is not good news for Mike Tomlin’s team. “If we play our game, we’ll win”.

Why they’ll lose: Because that’s what Marvin Lewis and the Bengals do in the playoffs? “The talking is done between the lines”.

“We left that behind us”, Gilbert said. All that stuff that happened weeks back is out of the window. “We are going to play until the whistle is blown”. His 11 touchdowns were tied for most in the NFL. The Steelers are 14-3 all time at Paul Brown Stadium, which opened in 2000. The same goes for the Bengals, who are without Andy Dalton, at least for the wildcard round. He won two national championships at Alabama and thinks his experience in big games should help on Saturday. The Oilers won that game in 1979 with an inexperienced quarterback because Houston’s defense picked off Dan Fouts five times.

“This is a severe Ben Roethlisberger update from 700 WLW”.

The familiarity that both Toussaint and Todman have with the Steelers’ offense means Haley won’t have to simplify it too much, even though the Steelers’ might miss Williams’ contributions to the passing game. With starting running back DeAngelo Williams’ right foot…

AJ McCarron will make his first playoff start for CIncy, while Fitzgerald Toussaint will be “the guy” in Pittsburgh’s running game.

The Seahawks limited Peterson to just 18 yards in eight carries when the two teams met last month, going on to claim a 38-7 win. Pittsburgh brought in well-traveled Ben Tate, who ran for 19 yards and fumbled in a loss to Baltimore.

Linebacker Sean Spence said, “From talking to other guys around the league and how their organization works, all of us are blessed to be in such a great organization”. They paved the way for us. In addition to contributing to the Mayor’s care package, partners are donating food that each Mayor will serve at his local rescue mission the week following the game.
