He won his franchise-record 108th game, passing Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw, while going 20 of 24 for 192 yards and an interception. He had entered the game needing 223 yards to reach 40,000 for his career.

“We’ve got to fix our defense against the run”, Fisher said. It is good to come out on top of those. “We’ll figure that out (the workload) as we go”.
“A couple of penalties in the red zone hurt us a lot”, Kendricks said. It might not necessarily mean the fans. “I made the catch and they decided if it’s a catch or not”. That play was there, floating through the air and into the hands of wide-open tight end Lance Kendricks, who was running down the left sideline with little more than 12 minutes to go in the third quarter.
Meanwhile, the Steelers are on a short week; they face the 0-3 Ravens on Thursday, and while the extent of Roethlisberger’s injury is unknown, it’s reasonable to think that he may not be ready to play four days from now. “(Williams) has been a good asset and acquisition for us”, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin told reporters.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Gurley said he is “ready” to play on Sunday and if he is active, Mason, Gurley and Benny Cunningham could split some carries. Emphasize might.

One spot near the 5-yard line then caught fire. “That’s all I really kept on my mind”, Bell said. “The things that I know about him don’t help me sleep easy”. Rams had two sacks against Redskins after piling up six in opener against Seattle…. While working through a hamstring injury, McCoy averaged 5.9 yards a carry against the Patriots and is capable of shredding a Dolphins defense that is struggling mightily against the run even after adding Ndamukong Suh to the team’s talented front seven.
