“He makes checks with (Brown)”, Steelers safety Mike Mitchell said.

Del Rio would not reveal how severe the injury is, saying only that any injury that has a player leave a game and not return is considered serious.
He also had a 33-yard catch in the first quarter during the Steelers’ first drive of the game, but Pittsburgh was eventually forced to punt. Brown’s incredible performance set a new franchise record for receiving yards in a single game. “Obviously, Johnny Manziel has played a few, but when you look at the tape, it’s obvious that Josh is their guy”.
Mike Tomlin says still evaluating Ben Roethlisberger: “We’ll leave the door ajar for him…it’s just slightly ajar”. He also said he will be blocking that brother’s number this week. Williams, who had 27 rushes and two receptions for 225 yards from scrimmage, could miss practice time Wednesday, and the team will monitor his progress during the week. He is expected to start when the Steelers host the 2-7 Cleveland Browns on Sunday. “But we had times when we had players on him and did not make plays”. We were the weak link as far as our team was concerned. Whatever the case, Ray-Ray should be very afraid, because with the inconsistency with which the National Football League dishes out punishment, he could get suspended for 100 games for this.
“You have to have that ability to fight, to keep coming after people, to keep making plays, to have hope,”‘ Del Rio said.
The Raiders, now 4-4 at the season’s halfway point heading into this weekend’s game against the Vikings at the O.co Coliseum, are proving themselves to be an emerging team with a shot at the playoffs. “If I can get up and move around, I’ll be on the field”. “There was an opportunity to be more aggressive”. “He has fought his way through things like this in the past”. “He was talking to the group like, we’ve got to get this win, we’ve got it going…It was good to see him cheering on the whole offense in the way that he wanted to get a win, and it was refreshing to see that out of him. You respect and appreciate that”.
Perhaps the worst mistake of the day came on the Raiders’ next touchdown, when nobody covered standout rookie receiver Amari Cooper as he ran wide open for an easy score. He left quickly without speaking to reporters following the game.
“The bye will come at a good time, but I’m not even going to rule myself out this week”, Roethlisberger said, via CBS Pittsburgh. I thought we were able to run it because of some of the things in the passing game, and I thought on some of our first-and-10 play passes, we were able to get some chunks and do some things there because of how we were able to run the ball.
