Kansas City’s Travis Kelce had five catches for 73 yards, including a 26-yard catch on third-and-4 in the fourth quarter that kept alive the Chiefs’ final touchdown drive that sealed the game.

“[Gay] was twisting Charcandrick’s leg right in front of the official”.
Regardless of what they might hear or read in the coming days, the Cincinnati Bengals believe Ben Roethlisberger will be at quarterback when they face the Steelers on Sunday at Heinz Field. But if they can find a way to get it going, this thing isn’t over yet.
The Steelers will surely want to avoid another injury to Big Ben, and it’s also fair to point out that he may struggle against a strong Bengals defense if he’s still on the mend, though, Ben is tough as nails.
Roethlisberger, the longtime Steelers franchise signal-caller, took a hit to the knee from St. Louis Rams safety Mark Barron in late September He was eventually determined to have suffered an MCL sprain and a bone bruise. He was 2-for-2 on field goals from 36 and 24 yards and is now 5-for-5 in his first three National Football League games. But Fulton was on the sideline Sunday. Left guard Ben Grubbs and rookie center Mitch Morse remained intact with the starting unit.
“I saw it a couple times throughout the game, so I didn’t bite on it”, Johnson said.
“We are going to need him”, Tomlin said. Quarterback Alex Smith was sacked twice in 34 passing plays.
Gay has played in every game of his nine-year career to this point. “Those guys had a tall task”. “Ben has played a lot of ball for us, he has great continuity and recall from his time in this system”. He moved into the starting lineup during the preseason and has become a fixture.
“I thought the offensive line did a pretty good job”, Reid told reporters.
“It helps to be at home”, Johnson said, when asked how they kept themselves from going into the tank when they were 1-5. “They seem to work well together”. Last week, Roethlisberger said he was feeling better and “can deal with the pain“. Additionally, the Bengals are just 6-17 against Pittsburgh with Roethlisberger at quarterback.
-RUSHING OFFENSE: B. Without Jamaal Charles (knee/out for the season), the Chiefs barely registered a running game in losing to Minnesota.
“With how the offensive line was blocking today, anybody could have gotten back there and ran”, West humbly said after the game.
Miami’s Lamar Miller led the way with an astounding 12.5-yard average, gaining 175 yards on 14 carries in a romp past Houston.
The Steelers had allowed only one 100-yard rusher and only one rushing touchdown so far this season, and were giving up an average of only 93 total rushing yards per game through their first six games. Terrance Williams added four grabs for 70 yards.
On the defensive side, Tamba Hall racked up two sacks for Chiefs; Eric Berry and Derrick Johnson each grabbed an interception. Cincinnati QB Andy Dalton has completed 67.4 percent of his passes with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions. K.C. returners still haven’t broken off a big punt or kickoff return.

Kansas City’s running game may have been even better. In this case, rather than continuity, the head coach was looking for attitude and it produced results.
