A single-engine Piper PA32 that took off from the Reid-Hillview Airport disappeared from radar near Bakersfield around 4 p.m. Saturday, according to Ian Gregor from the Federal Aviation Administration.

The defense is showing shades of Seattle, where Pittsburgh couldn’t get third-down stops and let receivers roam free.

Bayern next faces last season’s runner-up Juventus in the last 16, with the first leg on February 23. In the meantime there is sure to be plenty of speculation over what his next move will be.

All they’ve done is win four of their last five to soar back into the playoff hunt and during that stretch, they’ve averaged a staggering 35.2 points and 494 yards per game. In the receiving end, Antontio Brown had 87 yards in seven receptions while Heath Miller added 66 yards in 10 catches.

The plan is for a new trilogy, but Daniels wouldn’t say if he’ll be in the next two instalments. Security will be tight, with several streets blocked to traffic and extra police on patrol.

If the Broncos can’t get the sack, they need to force Roethlisberger to throw the ball to his underneath routes.

He’s right. Think about it. This game will have importance as the Denver Broncos are looking to claim their spot as the number one seed in the AFC, and the Steelers look to gain ground on Cincinnati Bengals who have the lead in the AFC North.

It’s also important to consider the fact that the Bengals could be without Andy Dalton for the remainder of the regular season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (8-5) are coming from a 33-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. “I’ve got nothing but love for Ben”.

Getting through Friday’s workout, however, convinced the Steelers to list him as probable to play Sunday against Denver.

The Denver Broncos will head to Heinz Field to face a Pittsburgh Steelers team that is piling up the yardage and the points this season.

There’s nothing better than seeing a great offense battle a great defense in the National Football League, and that’s exactly what will happen in Week 15.

The Denver Broncos defense comes up big to start the game to force the Pittsburgh Steelers to punt, but that bad offense once again found a way to screw the team over when Ronnie Hillman fumbles on the second offensive play of the game.

For a map of the Week 15 games nationally, look HERE. They played really well, defensively, too. Not a bad first quarter for the Broncos wide receivers. It’s another big challenge for our team. Roethlisberger is now averaging 332 yards per game and that is leading the league on a per game basis. He is also second in yards this season, but he’s been without Roethlisberger for numerous games this season.
