After the Bills helped the Pittsburgh Steelers reach the National Football League play-offs, a restaurant in Pittsburgh showed how grateful they were by sending 80 sandwich kits to upstate NY.

Pittsburgh will travel to Cincinnati to play its AFC North division rival Bengals next weekend at a time to be determined.
Leading comfortably in the closing minutes, Roethlisberger heard the crowd roar. “I don’t know if it’s going to take two weeks or two months”. A lot of thanks to coach Ryan and the rest of the Bills and everybody in Buffalo.
“I feel like as long as we play our game, don’t turn the ball over, and create turnovers, we match up with any team”, Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons said. All the injuries, the early season suspensions and the meltdown in Baltimore mere footnotes now.
On Tuesday, Tomlin told reporters that Williams is still being evaluated and getting treatment, and that his status remains uncertain.
“We need to be great”.
For the Browns (3-13), another awful season ended in shambles.
Pettine’s departure, confirmed by the club in an open letter to fans from owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam on the team’s website, followed that of general manager Ray Farmer. He was 10-22 in two seasons in Cleveland.
“I’m not at all [concerned]”, Tomlin said.
According to ESPN reporter Adam Scheffter Williams will be undergoing an MRI today to determine his availability for the game on Saturday.
Toussaint filled in for Williams after he was injured in the first quarter of the regular-season finale against the Browns.
After beating the Cleveland Browns 28-12 Pittsburgh advanced to the postseason.
All that was left was for the Bills to help out.
And as a result of the Bills win, the Jets will be sitting at home.
Just as quickly as they fell from grace last week, the Steelers pulled off the improbable to put themselves in a good position.
“I’m a little numb right now”, said receiver Brandon Marshall, who led the Jets with eight catches for 126 yards. “Sitting here as a Pittsburgh Steeler, that’s the expectation to make the playoffs and hoist the Lombardi Trophy. We continue to stay together no matter what people say”.
It’s worth noting that Toussaint did an excellent job in blitz pickup against the Browns, and his efforts contributed to Ben Roethlisberger not being sacked the entire game.
“He’s a talented and hard-working guy”, Tomlin said. The 29-yard kick was Travis Coons’ fourth field goal of the game.
Farmer, too, was suspended for the first four games this season for texting to the sideline during 2014 games.
“We’ll have to see what happens”, said the nine-time Pro Bowler. Sure have. Think back to Brown’s second touchdown against the Denver Broncos at Heinz Field in Week 15 to remember the same exact route, the same bracketed coverage and a pin-point accurate pass which equates in a touchdown.
