Pittsburgh’s starting running back wasted no time tweeting “1-0” after the Steelers’ 38-16 victory over the Washington Redskins on Monday night.
Pittsburgh finished with a total of 437 offensive yards and five touchdowns.
Williams rushed for 143 yards on 26 carries, while second-year receiver Rogers had six catches for 59 yards and a touchdown. However, an offensive penalty led to a first-and-20, and Washington was forced to settle for another field goal, cutting the score to 24-9. Rothelisberger also threw 300 passing yards and 1 interception. “We see what kind of coverage they’re in”. Cousins threw two interceptions in each game. The Washington defense kept the Steelers offense on the back foot in the first quarter and allowed their offense to target a Steelers’ secondary that has been decimated by injuries.
The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Washington Redskins in the first Monday Night Football match-up of the 2016 season. Steelers now have a 7-6 lead with 10:10 left in the second quarter.
The second half started a bit slow, as Ben would ultimately underthrow TE Jesse James on a 3 down (and miss AB who was open underneath), while K Chris Boswell would make the game 17-6 with a 46 yard field goal.
Steelers and Redskins help hold the giant American flag spread across the field.
Brown is on a roll. On the ground, Mack Brown rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown in 19 attempts while Rob Kelly added 99 yards in 16 attempts.
Roethlisberger orchestrated a 12-play scoring drive, which featured a 14-yard pass to Sammie Coates, and 21-yard completion to Antonio Brown. The Steelers lined Brown up on the left side of the field, away from Norman, that’s smart football but why didn’t the Redskins just switch Norman over to cover Brown? Sure, he’s always put up numbers and won games, but lately, he’s just playing at a different level. In one of the biggest moves of the offseason, the Redskins signed All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman, which will certainly bolster their defense.

That’s because both contests-the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Washington Redskins (38-16), and the San Francisco 49ers hosting the Los Angeles Rams (28-0)-quickly devolved into absolute sh*t-kickings. Barring a disaster, the Steelers are going to finish with a winning record this season, and Cousins looked as off-target, hurried, out of sync with his receivers and prone to bad decisions as he did against the likes of the Jets, Patriots and Panthers in 2015. Brown caught eight passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns. He thought current starter Jimmy Garoppolo played well, and it was a fun game to watch. “That’s why we’re completely confident in his ability to deliver during the time that (RB Le’Veon) Bell is out (while serving a three-game suspension)”. Do you think Revis would just sit there and let Brown torch the defense without going to or ignoring the coaches orders and guarding Brown himself?
