The Monday Night Football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers has two 2-2 teams facing off to see who will have the edge on their opposition when it comes to a possible AFC tie-breakers, as well as staying alive within their individual divisions.

“In the past I’ve had some success against him”, Robinson said Wednesday. That became a high-pressure situation. Coach Mike Tomlin says Vick having a chance to practice for an entire week with the starters should help too. I am trying to take advantage of them from start to finish. It’s been a very productive two days, and I’m looking forward to another productive two days’. Brown had never caught passes from a left-hander in his first four seasons with the Steelers, and he’s making the adjustment along with the team’s other pass-catchers.
The Steelers (2-2) were stopped the first time at the Baltimore 39 on a quarterback sweep by Mike Vick on fourth-and-2, and Vick overthrew an open Antonio Brown on fourth-and-1 at the Baltimore 33 on the next Pittsburgh possession. “We have a lot of work to do this week in practice to get ready for Monday”, said Bryant.
As a blitzer in John Pagano’s pressure package, he has run in unblocked at least three times to create incompletions.
“I repeatedly get the ball in their hands, whether it’s short throws, long throws, or different spin. If you sit there and just play catch that’s just as important”.
There are no guarantees on how much either will play as Gates returns from suspension and Shazier tries to recover from a right shoulder injury. But, when defensive coordinator Keith Butler was asked Thursday about Shazier’s availability, he was not sure if he would be able to play Monday night against the Chargers.
“Boswell just did a nice job in the workout,” Tomlin said. “I’ll wait until Week 16 and see where I’m at”, Bell said. I have been through this phase before, so I know what it’s like. Without reaching out directly, which would have been prohibited, the team remained hopefully optimistic while playing the role of a concerned parent in Bryant’s case.
It’s a great offense. “We have a great deal of comfort with him”, Tomlin said, “and we are excited about rallying around him and supporting him”.
“Everybody in this locker room is a professional”. He said there really are no tips he can give the receivers, it’s just all about practicing, something that normally would occur during OTAs but being signed in the preseason didn’t allow for that.

Keenan Allen (Wide Receiver): If Stevie Johnson and Malcom Floyd are out Allen could be in for the biggest game of his career. The Steelers didn’t attempt many deep throws in their first game without Roethlisberger, but that should change with Bryant’s return. I just have to play my part and get on the same page.
