“He is Antonio Brown, and he lived up to it tonight”.

On defense, the Redskins could not come up with an answer for Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams, as he scampered for 143 yards.
All that money the Washington Redskins spent on Josh Norman? We’ve got to get our running game going to take some pressure off the quarterback. While everyone knows the star studded names, what about those players who didn’t get as much publicity for their efforts? Even a couple of throws that made it look like he didn’t know the play. “It’s going to be a fun game Sunday”.
“That’s not who we are”, Roethlisberger said.
Redskins Head Coach Jay Gruden spoke about the team’s relationship with the military.
“Just watched the National [Anthem] played at the @Redskins and @steelers game”, one user wrote on Twitter. Cincinnati QB Andy Dalton completed 23 of his 30 passes for 366 yards and a touchdown with an interception. He has also started at least 11 games in five straight seasons, with at least that many starts eight times over his previous 12 National Football League seasons.
“We just line up and play”, the quarterback said.
Special Teams: Kicker Chris Boswell has officially taken over the reins as Shaun Suisham’s replacement.
He was beaten on a back-shoulder pass, and then on another long ball down the sideline for a 26-yard score by Brown.
In the 4th quarter, Washington was trailing 24 to 9. Tomlin said the Steelers “play to win”, and Roethlisberger overlooked two other open receivers to throw to Brown. “We’re very aggressive”, Mitchell said.
Despite a miserable snap, Roethlisberger picked it up and basically blindly threw the ball to Coates. Brown caught two touchdown passes against Breeland and all eight of his receptions came against the third-year pro. In place of Bell, DeAngelo Williams was superb for the Steelers.
Washington kicker Dustin Hopkins made all three of his field-goal attempts, connecting from 31, 40 and 34 yards. Game over. The Steelers added another late touchdown to emphasize the point that they were the far superior team. “They had an excellent game plan and exectued it flawlessly”.
“They gave us a good old-fashioned butt-whooping”.
The second quarter became a tale of fourth-down success and failure that ended with Pittsburgh ahead 14-6.
It led to the lone sack on Roethlisberger, when Ryan Kerrigan beat Villanueva with an outside rip and forced a fumble. But the Steelers often kept him on the offense’s left side opposite Breeland.
Washington couldn’t stop the run at all. However, the club’s road warrior reputation is well earned after going 7-2 SU and 8-0-1 ATS in their past nine away contests.
The Steelers capped the drive when Roethlisberger’s pass intended for Coates on a slant deflected in the end zone to Rogers for a 3-yard touchdown with 27 seconds left in the half. “That’s just who we are”. Washington WR Pierre Garcon started his 100th career game. Then you have issues with pick plays and all that stuff.

That’s what Ben Roethlisberger did. However, on fourth-and-6, safety Robert Golden stopped Thompson inches short after a reception at the Steelers’ 33 to thwart that threat.
