Needing only a win at Buffalo to clinch an AFC wild-card berth Sunday, the New York Jets instead fell to the Bills (and the Jets’ former head coach, Rex Ryan) and were then eliminated from playoff contention when the Steelers beat the Browns. We recognize that we’re not ideal. “We’ll want the ball”.

Jim Tomsula lasted one season as the San Francisco 49ers’ head coach, as the team fired him Sunday following a 19-16 overtime win against the St. Louis Rams.
“It’s like deja vu of a year ago”, said right guard David DeCastro.
In addition, Brown set the Steelers’ record for touchdown catches in a two-year span with 23, breaking Hines Ward’s mark of 22 set in the 2002-03 seasons.
“I’m a little numb right now”, said receiver Brandon Marshall, who led the Jets with eight catches for 126 yards. “I feel like we’ve done a lot of good things, but I’m the first one to tell you this is a pass/fail league, and the results aren’t there”. “It takes awhile to understand how competitive it is, how much time it takes and the difficultly in putting together a winning organization”.
And if they play like they did against Baltimore, or even Sunday in Cleveland, they won’t have a long stay in the postseason. But he’s not just a trash talker – Mitchell finished the regular season with nine passes defensed and 60 tackles to go with three interceptions and two forced fumbles.
Because Haslam gave Brown final say over the 53-man roster, other teams can, if they so choose, prevent their scouts or assistant general managers from interviewing with the Browns.
NY responded and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a 17-yard touchdown to Brandon Marshall in the second quarter, before tossing a 21-yard score to Eric Decker in the third.
Something that – when Pittsburgh can get out of its own way – makes the Steelers as risky as any team in the AFC. He’s one of those guys everybody is excited about seeing play, excited about seeing given an opportunity.
“We don’t know the extent of that”, said Tomlin. Cleveland is also interested in interviewing Cincinnati offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, according to NFL Media’s Rand Getlin, which puts Browns fans in the odd spot of possibly rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend to knock the Bengals out of the playoffs so Jackson can start interviewing.
From 2007 to 2012, the Steelers’ total defense never ranked outside of the top five. But we’ve got one for you.
“It’s so gratifying”, said Brown, who finished with 136 catches for 1,834 yards. Earlier this season, Manziel was benched for lying about the timing of his partying during the bye in November. Williams rushed for more than 900 yards, recorded 367 yards through receiving passes from Big Ben and scored 11 touchdowns.
“We will be methodical in looking for strong, smart leaders with high character who are relentlessly driven to improve our football team, willing to look at every resource possible to improve, and who embrace collaboration to ultimately make the best decisions for the Cleveland Browns”.

The NFC playoff picture wasn’t clear until the exciting conclusion of Sunday Night Football, when the Minnesota Vikings held on to beat the Green Bay Packers 20-13 when Aaron Rodgers’s last second touchdown attempt faltered.
