Steelers closing ranks as losing streak hits four

The Tomlin-era Steelers have constantly been criticized for failing to win easy matchups.

Asked if the Steelers could turn to the no-huddle offense more on the road, Roethlisberger said, “We’ll do whatever we need to do”.

How hard has Pittsburgh’s schedule been? He makes the line calls, offers in-game pointers and serves as the emotional fulcrum for the guys around him.

Tomlin said the Steelers are just not playing well enough. In 10 games, he’s totaled 67 receptions for 1,054 yards and seven touchdowns, ranking first in all three categories among active National Football League players. Heyward recorded 163 tackles and fifteen sacks over his four years; he earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2010. He now needs 3.5 to accomplish that feat. The Steelers are also 31st in with a 3.71 sack percentage, ahead of only the New York Giants, who have a 3.53 mark. However, Brown’s quickness and Roethlisberger’s anticipation enable them to get the completion toward the sideline before Jones is able to recover after Brown breaks off his route.

“When you watched the Pittsburgh Steelers on defense over the years, there was a certain style in which they played”, said Gannon.

Frustrations spilled over last weekend when quarterback Ben Roethlisberger followed a last-second defeat at home to the Dallas Cowboys by saying the team lacked discipline and accountability and he wasn’t sure if that was attributable to players or coaches. He’ll have to play well in order for the Browns to keep the Steelers’ offense in check. Roethlisberger just visits once per year.

STEELERS Roethlisberger faked a spike a la Dan Marino on his 15-yard TD lob to No. 1 WR Antonio Brown (14-154-1 on 18 targets) in Week 10.

His.905 winning percentage is the best of any quarterback against an opponent he’s faced at least 15 times since the 1970 National Football League merger.

In other words, he owns the Browns.

The Pittsburgh Steelers learned Tuesday that they had lost defensive end Cam Heyward to a torn pectoral muscle for the rest of the 2016 season. The Browns are one of only two teams that have a longer losing streak than the Steelers, who have won 10 of the past 12 and 22 of the past 25 meetings with Cleveland. The Cowboys were down early, however their team stability an continuity propelled them in their road win over Pittsburgh. It’s definitely disappointing. You could argue the defense is playing worse than it played a year ago. Then said at the end of the game they broke down defensively.

Offensively, Cleveland has some weapons. His big moment was on the 50 yard play that gave Dallas the lead going into the fourth quarter. Rookie Cody Kessler is starting, but there’s talk that Robert Griffin III could play once his injured shoulder is fully healed.

Yeah, the general range of emotions for me any day I wake up, but notably present Sunday night around 7:30.

On the Steelers’ season so far, Roethlisberger has 2357 yards with 20 touchdowns and seven picks, while Le’Veon Bell is the team’s top rusher on 100 attempts for 433 yards and one score.
