As a thank you for sending their Steelers to the playoffs, Pittsburgh lunch institution Primanti Brothers is sending some sandwiches to front office members of the Buffalo Bills, whose victory against the New York Jets on Sunday helped Ben Roethlisberger & Co. reach the postseason for the second consecutive year. The victor between the Vikings and Packers will be the No. 3 seed.

Scroll down to see the back and forth lovefest between the two teams. The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game since January 6, 1991, and were denied a first-round bye when Denver defeated San Diego on Sunday night.
“It’s been a tough 16-week fight for us”, said head coach Mike Tomlin.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don’t want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly. We recognize we’re not flawless. It was the fifth time this season they recorded five sacks or more in a single game.
Brown fumbled to end the Steelers first drive after a 13-yard reception, and although the Browns took over at the Steelers 39, they did not score. Pettine went 10-22 during his two-year stint with Cleveland, losing 18 of his final 21 games. “Nobody wants to hear it takes time”.
Roethlisberger is now 19-2 lifetime against the Browns since being drafted in 2004.
CINCINNATI – AJ McCarron overcame a slow start to toss two touchdown passes and Jeremy Hill rushed for 96 yards and a TD, helping Cincinnati wrap up the regular season with a victory over Baltimore. More egregiously, after a completion to Antonio Brown set Pittsburgh up with a 1st-and-10 at the Browns 17, Pittsburgh called timeout with 1:07 left!!!!! In his place, Darrius Heyward-Bey, once the same kind of mercurial young player, provided a steadying presence and huge catch on a deep ball.
Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter and did not return.
“We don’t know the extent of that”, said Tomlin. The Steelers did not have Le’Veon Bell for a wild-card game last yr after the show star back injured his knee in Week 17. You can’t even say he’s running bad routes because he doesn’t appear to be running routes at all. “That was all on me. We’re in it to win it. “Coach T” makes the expectations quite clear to you guys and to us at the beginning of every season”.
Davis completed 24 of 46 passes for 240 yards.
The Steelers knew that if they were going to punch their second straight ticket to the playoffs that they’d have to focus exclusively on what they could control: disposing of the Browns, a team they’ve now beaten in 10 of their last 12 meetings. Williams, wearing a walking boot, congratulated his teammates as they came off the field following the game….

Farmer, too, was suspended for the first four games this season for texting to the sideline during 2014 games. Brown caught 13 passes for 187 yards.
