The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4) are coming from a 38-35 win over the Oakland Raiders last week. Although to their defense they shouldn’t be matched up on wide receivers very often.

“We do have high expectations for DeSean once we get him rolling, but yesterday wasn’t his day, wasn’t our day as an offense”, Gruden continued.
The Pittsburgh Steelers returned to work Wednesday to prepare for the Cleveland Browns, and there was a long list of players who weren’t able to participate in practice due to injury.
Running back Joseph Randle was suspended four games by the NFL under the league’s personal conduct policy, one week after he was released by Dallas. But a poor outing against Cleveland, or if Roethlisberger comes back too soon and tries to play hurt, could mean the Steelers miss out on a playoff berth. If Roethlisberger is unable to go, backup Landry Jones would take over as the starter this week. It’s hard to complain much about their performance.
“Todman is ready”, Tomlin said, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “He’s been here for an extended period of time now”. “I think there was an opportunity to do more there, to be more aggressive there”.
Before they take the field, most football players transform themselves from simple men into adrenaline-fueled rage machines.
The Steelers will be without four key offensive players when they play the Browns. I just have to lower my target. “That’s going to be quite a challenge for him since one of the parts of the test will start with is that he’s had an earlier concussion in the year, so that’s quite a hurdle to overcome when you’ve had another concussion”. “We’re just focused on the guys who are and how we can put together the right mix to be successful”. I thought that we hustled, and I think you’re opportunistic when those things happen. Latavius Murray had 96 yards rushing before leaving with an injury and the Raiders two fullbacks had an easy time running the ball as well.
Mike Tomlin was quoted by Steelers.com as saying, “He was DeAngelo, that’s why we acquired him back in the spring”.

“I’m sure their plan will be built around that knowing what he is in comparison to Ben”, Pettine said. He’s delivered for us time and time again.
