With Seattle CB Richard Sherman shadowing Brown all game, the Steelers did most of their damage on the other side of the field.

“I guess we’ll find out”, he said.
“Coach Andersen is a really good dude”, Wheaton said.
Okung knows something about good football. The Steelers secondary, long their Achilles Heal, remains just that.
The loss to the Seahawks. And Ben Roethlisberger was carving them up. The Seahawks were perfectly prepared for a fake field goal that resulted in an interception by Jeremy Lane.
Roethlisberger and Wheaton came right back to put the Steelers on top again, 27-26 with 11:40 left.
“This is a great team, they fight well”. We’ve got to grow from this – myself included.
That all changed Sunday afternoon at CenturyLink Field.
Texans 24, Saints 6: Brian Hoyer threw for 205 yards and two touchdowns, and Houston held Drew Brees and New Orleans without a touchdown for the first time in 10 years in a win.
Are you getting the idea this playoff run isn’t going to be easy?
There’s a decent chance Francis could play Sunday against Minnesota after defensive linemen Demarcus Dobbs (concussion) and Jordan Hill (toe) were hurt against the Steelers.
Wheaton said, as quoted by GoErie.com, “I think the chemistry was just there today”.
Redskins 20, Giants 14: LANDOVER, Md – Kirk Cousins threw a 63-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson and scored on a quarterback sneak, Washington intercepted Eli Manning three times, and the Redskins pulled into a tie for the NFC East lead.
Wilson finished 21 of 30 for 345 yards and connected on his final six passes of the game, three of them going for touchdowns. In their five losses, they’ve relinquished it.
Seattle converted 7 of 13 third-down chances. “When you get an opportunity in the open field like that, you have to make the most of it”. The fact they were even in the game despite giving it away four times is telling. We gave up a million in the first ones.
Wilson had fought illness most of the day, but battled to his best game of the season.
Roethlisberger throwing for 456 yards wasn’t enough for Pittsburgh on a day Russell Wilson managed to overshadow everyone.
Roethlisberger’s stats may have been gaudy as he threw the ball an incredible 55 times, but it was his two interceptions that proved to be very costly. Wilson was 4 for 4 against the Steelers with touchdowns in the red zone. “We needed every bit of it, obviously”. We’ve got to be a special scoring offense.
“We just have to worry about ourselves and handle our business”, Blake said. Finishing might be a different story. “That’s Russell Wilson. Whenever his back is against the wall is when he plays his best”. This has not been his year because of knee and foot injuries and, now, a potential concussion. To earn a wild card spot, Pittsburgh may have to win their remaining games. They will have to finish strong without two key injured players – Lynch and Graham. Backup Landry Jones entered the game after a Seattle security score with Pittsburgh trailing two scores and the game more or less already decided.
It was a 10-point swing in a game where neither defense could stop the offense.
No matter who plays quarterback, the Steelers need to beat the Colts.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Alex Smith threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, Spencer Ware ran for 114 yards and a score, and the Chiefs won their fifth straight. He was taken to the locker room on the back of a cart.

“It’s one of those things where we have a lot of games left that we have to win”, guard David DeCastro said. We’ve got to make it happen. “We’re going to do what’s right in terms of safeguarding those guys”.
