“DeAngelo’s injury situation is one that is noteworthy”, said Tomlin. But we’ve got one for you. I just spoke with him, and he can be characterized as day-to-day. It’s going to be a conversation I have with the team to let them know … the postseason is a different season. But Williams’ availability for Wild Card Weekend is up in the air. In the first meeting between the two teams on November 1, he briefly knocked Marvin Jones out of the game with a legal hit to the midsection.
“That was more than enough”, Tomlin said.
The Jets hosted the Bills at Shea Stadium and fell behind 24-0 early before making a late rally, but Bills safety Bill Simpson intercepted a pass from Richard Todd inside the Buffalo 5 in the closing seconds to preserve a 31-27 Bills win. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. He brings a business-like approach.
“We have the quarterback who has been there before”, right tackle Marcus Gilbert said. In a reaction to Bell’s injury on November 1, the Steelers signed veteran Isaiah Pead to the 53-man roster, but about three weeks later the decision was made to release Pead and promote Toussaint from the practice squad.
Well in just three games this season, Toussaint has 18 carries for 42 yards and no touchdowns.
“He’s a talented and hard-working guy”, said Tomlin about Toussaint. We need to be that way as a team. “Make sure that I give them a good look and that helps me out”.
The Steelers have shown success from the sixth seed in the past when they won Super Bowl XL, but in order to make a run at Super Bowl L guys will have to step up and make their mark on this team. And that doesn’t mean as receivers, either. That’s because Toussaint was a member of the Ravens, though he did not have any carries in that game.
Doug Brien missed two potential game-winning field goals, and the Steelers eventually beat the Jets in overtime, 20-17. “We’re going to challenge those guys to have a big week to be wired in from a preparation standpoint, and to deliver in a similar way that others have delivered for us over the course of the year when adversity or injury strikes”. A few things we won’t tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. If a similar thing happens at that position this week, we’ll ask similar things of Fitz and Todman.

In 2014 it was Le’Veon Bell being carted off the field after hyper-extending his knee after a Reggie Nelson low hit when Bell had caught a pass over the middle of the field. “We feel like if we play our best football, the football we’re capable of playing, then I like our chances”.
