Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns

The Browns kept it close into the fourth quarter before falling 28-12 at FirstEnergy Stadium. “It’s just about staying on the details, focusing on the details throughout the week and they’ll take care of themselves on gameday”. If the Jets defeat the Bills, the Steelers will be eliminated from the playoffs.

Unlike yesterday, SAFAR’s hourly average graph of mass concentration of pollutants did not show any upward trend after 2 PM. PM 2.5 are the particulate matter capable of causing harm to human respiration, if present above permissible levels.

Because of last week’s upset loss in Baltimore, Pittsburgh needs a win and the Jets need to lose in order for the Steelers to advance to the postseason.

Amnesty International criticised Nimr’s arrest for being part of a campaign by the Saudi authorities to quash all dissent. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was “deeply dismayed” by the executions and called again for an end to the death penalty.

The fourth-down miss to Wheaton came when Wheaton turned inside to look for the ball while Roethlisberger threw outside, a play in which the Steelers lined Wheaton up on the outside rather than his usual spot in the slot in search of an advantage.


Maple Leafs’ William Nylander: Still no updates on injury
After all, Superman is not supposed to bleed, much less get knocked out in front of a sold-out crowd that was maybe 30% Canadian. Just when Team Canada thought they had one up, the goal was reviewed and it seemed inconclusive so it was waved off.

Season finales against Pittsburgh are half football game, half daytime soap.

Leave it to Rex Ryan to continue the New York Jets’ playoff drought. At this point, the team could never be over. The availability of the team’s leading rusher, who entered Sunday’s game with 899 yards and 11 touchdowns, will be under a microscope this week as his status for the playoffs is determined.

BROWNS: OUT: QB Johnny Manziel (concussion), WR Marlon Moore (concussion), CB Tramon Williams (concussion), RB Glenn Winston (concussion). That has been the story of the season for a unit that has produced only a handful of big plays. He threw for just 215 yards, did not throw a touchdown and was intercepted twice. In 2013, they were set to make it in with an 8-8 record until kicker missed a field goal near the end of regulation against San Diego. Walker also is the first tight end in team history to go over 1,000 yards receiving.

Odds the Indianapolis Colts will make the playoffs. They need to get their passing game back on track and the easiest way to do that is to get Roethlisberger into the game early.

The struggles away from Heinz Field mirror those of Ben Roethlisberger’s.

Williams has had a great and somewhat surprising season at age 32.

Browns coach Mike Pettine is expected to be fired, according to numerous reports. Browns rushed for season-high 232 yards last week and are averaging 185.3 yards in past three games…. It’ll be a long winter without Cleveland football so enjoy the season while it lasts.

Perhaps as many as eight others face the Black Monday axe.

He had three sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble, and despite two Rookie of the Month awards, finished second to St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald for Defensive Rookie of the Year. He was replaced by Chris Clark and said after the game that he didn’t yet know the severity of the injury.

Beginning with head coach Todd Bowles, the Jets are using the Steelers mistake as a lesson to learn. And a playoff berth on the line for the Jets.

The Cleveland Browns (3-12) suffered a 17-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

— The next coach will be the fourth under the Browns regime of owner Jimmy Haslam, who left the Steelers as a minority owner to take over here in 2012. As if that was not bad enough, it has been reported lately that Manziel has had concussion symptoms and is now in concussion protocol.

There could be plenty of meaning for both NFC West teams, even though the Cards already have the division title wrapped up.

The Patriots clinch the No. 1 seed with a win or Denver loss. When they lose it, they’re doomed.
