Mike Tomlin said there was one fundamental adjustment that his Pittsburgh Steelers made between halves Sunday. The Steelers trailed 27-10 late in the second quarter, but they scored 24 unanswered points to score a 34-27 victory at Heinz Field. Three plays later, Pittsburgh grabbed the lead with a 23-yard touchdown pass to receiver Antonio Brown. So he probably doesn’t play this week, and there’s no telling when he would be available to take over from Osweiler.

Claudio Ranieri not thinking about Leicester’s Premier League title chances
Branislav Ivanovic , Pedro and Oscar scored the goals to lift them to 15th, albeit still only four points above the bottom three. Many Premier League observers will suggest that the Foxes will not be able to carry on this form for the rest of the season.
Such a week 16 scenario would leave the Chiefs, Steelers and Jets at 10-5.

Indeed, that winning mentality is part of the 44-year-old’s nature, and he is unlikely to let his standards slip over the next six months.
Halftime vs San Diego: 17-3. It can’t get more dramatic for the Broncos. “It does not sound like he is inclined to be Brock Osweiler’s backup”.

Pittsburgh ran out the clock.
Who are the NFL’s most overpaid players? The defense needed to make sure that was enough to win, and it failed. The offense was allowed to flounder a bit, to make mistakes. “When it gets rolling you can see what we’re capable of”.
Shazier finished with six tackles and a career-high three passes defended, including his first career interception that led to the go-ahead touchdown from Roethlisberger to Brown. RB Bilal Powell (seven catches for 54 yards) has quickly turned into an indispensable piece out of the backfield.
Harris said the Broncos resorted to straight man-to-man coverage on defense to try and stop Pittsburgh.
“They’ve been around, and just about anything that can happen to you in the stadium had happened to those guys”, Tomlin said. “We needed to tackle better”. But the Steelers moved ahead of the Jets to claim the No. 6 and final spot in the AFC playoff race because of a common-opponents tiebreaker.
Broncos coach Gary Kubiak says Brock Osweiler (non-throwing shoulder) is “sore”, but that “all indications are he’ll be OK”. “In the first half, that was the issue”.
“We just didn’t execute (in the second half) the way we did in the first half”, Kubiak said.
Osweiler was 21 of 44 passing for 296 yards and was intercepted once. Last month against Oakland, he had 17 catches for 284 yards. After Denver’s 34-27 loss to Pittsburgh, which will require them to beat the Bengals next week to have any hope of a playoff bye, Manning derided the report in the strongest of terms. In the midst of all that, a rattled Osweiler couldn’t generate any real offense in the second half, and the Steelers and Roethlisberger slowly caught up, and soon lapped him. A half-hour later Brown was celebrating after putting the Steelers up for good.
After the first quarter, Sanders had 107 receiving yards. Demaryius Thomas hauled in a pair of touchdowns but Osweiler completed just 7 of 26 passes over the final two quarters. Kicker Brandon McManus missed the extra-point attempt at the end of the 10-play drive.
Outlook: The Broncos certainly could topple the Bengals and Chargers over the next two weeks, but the Pats rarely drop games within the division, and nearly never in consecutive fashion.
Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams had a 2-yard touchdown run 4:44 into the game to open the scoring in the home finale. We have to give ourselves a chance. “It’s motivating to me to get back out there”.
NOTES: Broncos FS Darian Stewart (hamstring) sat out after being listed as questionable Friday with a hamstring injury and was replaced in the starting lineup by S Josh Bush, who had an interception….
