The Steelers (10-6) earned a wild-card berth as a result of their win and the Buffalo Bills’ 22-17 victory over the New York Jets. This is a lot of points to lay on a road team but the Browns aren’t going to match what Ben Roethlisberger and Co.do offensively.

Cuomo announced his executive order on Sunday to protect the homeless.

“We support the intent of the executive order, but to forcibly remove all homeless individuals in freezing weather, as the governor has ordered, will require him to pass state law”.

According to New York City’s Department of Homeless Services, over 57,000 homeless people are living in shelters in the city. Both de Blasio and Cuomo have offered different strategies for alleviating the state’s homelessness problem, often criticizing one another’s plans.

According to the New York Daily News, the emergency declaration is just the first part of what will be the governor’s comprehensive plan to address homelessness. Many of them fear falling victim to crime in the shelters.

He said he believed the law was on his side. It also requires homeless shelters to extend their hours of operations so that those without shelter can remain indoors. She says there are many legal questions about how homeless people could be forced off the street and into shelters without violating the rights of homeless people.
