Ben Roethlisberger thanks Bills, Rex Ryan for beating Jets
The Steelers enter the wild-card round of the playoffs against the AFC’s number three seed in a game next weekend.

Brown caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger with 58 seconds left in the half. The other two seasons (1981, 1988) both resulted in Super Bowl appearances.
Now that Pittsburgh has punched its ticket to the postseason, the team’s ability to maintain its momentum will be put to the test as the No. 6 seed in the AFC prepares for the postseason with a battered backfield. Pittsburgh beat out NY on the third two-team Wild Card tiebreaker, record among common opponents.
Until Roethlisberger and Brown imposed their collective will on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, with Roethlisberger completing 24 of 36 passes for 240 yards and Brown catching 13 passes for 187 yards, Brady was the only AFC quarterback in these playoffs who had ever been to a Super Bowl.
The NFC playoff picture was settled late Sunday night when Minnesota beat Green Bay 20-13 to win the NFC North. The Vikings will host Seattle in the early game Sunday, while Green Bay will travel to NFC East champion Washington for the late Sunday game. Stephon Tuitt and Lawrence Timmons led the way in shutting down Davis with 3.5 sacks between them.
Austin Davis completed 24-of-46 passes for 240 yards and two interceptions in the Browns’ 28-12, Week 17 loss to the Steelers. Roethlisberger threw one touchdown pass to Brown, one to tight end Heath Miller and one to wide receiver Markus Wheaton on Sunday.
All that was left was for the Bills to help out. They needed a win to get in.
Big Ben is 19-4 against Cleveland, including an 8-2 mark at FirstEnergy Stadium, which will have a large number of Terrible Towel-waving Steelers fans on hand.
They lost to the Ravens 30-17.
After every game there are players who deserve the label of a “Winner”, and others who are dubbed “Losers”. For most of the last three quarters, he did it without DeAngelo Williams, carted off with an ankle injury.
The Redskins (9-7) head into the playoffs on a four-game winning streak, the team’s longest since 2012.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is expected to fire Pettine and Farmer as early as tonight. The Browns haven’t been to the playoffs since 2002. The polarizing QB was reportedly spotted in Las Vegas instead of being with his teammates for the final time this season, not a good look for the 23-year-old or the Browns.

That stretched the Steelers’ lead to 14-6, but the Browns drove from their 20 with 58 seconds left to the 15, and then Coons kicked his third field goal of the half, from 33 yards with no time left. Pittsburgh’s strength up front, combined with Cleveland’s weak offensive line, was a combination that was unwinnable for the Browns. That to me is the resume – how hard the guys play, the effort that goes in, how hard we practice, what we do in meeting time, walkthrough, out on the practice field, how that carries over to the game field. Antonio Brown is the NFL’s most unstoppable receiver, and for the ninth time this year on Sunday he surpassed 100 yards receiving. He celebrated by leaping into a group of black-and-gold covered Steelers fans, many of whom spent the first half looking at the scoreboard and wondering if Pittsburgh was going to show up.
