James Harrison tackled Boyd on the play, forcing a fumble that was recovered by the Steelers.

For starters, nobody’s talking this week. Jeremy Hill and Gio Bernard split the workload out of the backfield, combining for 56 yards on 14 carries.
NOTES: LB Ryan Shazier did not practice Wednesday while undergoing treatment for a right knee issue that popped up last in the victory over Washington. LT Andrew Whitworth got to rest.
Sunday’s officiating crew came into the game with an increased emphasis on quickly defusing any potentially volatile situations. We don’t worry about a year ago. “We have to move past this game”.
Although backup quarterback A.J.
If Dalton were to miss next week’s matchup with the Broncos, AJ McCarron is the next man up.
Pittsburgh controlled the tempo throughout and after Roethlisberger shook off a so-so first half in which he tossed two interceptions and the Steelers pulled away.
So, in two losses to the Steelers previous year, Dalton missed most of one game and all of the other.
The Jets ran 30 times for 152 yards, an average of 5.1 yards per carry. He’s preparing for similar pressure along the confluence of the Three Rivers. “Everything is stacked up against you, especially in Pittsburgh”. You have to stay poised. Maybe it was the relatively conservative game plans or maybe it was just pretty solid defense.
“I get so excited watching those guys, I was more nervous watching than playing”, Wheaton said.
There are so many that could be chosen, but the nod goes to cornerback Josh Shaw’s game-clinching interception with 40 seconds left. “I expect them to have pillows”. I watched that film (of the AFC wild-card game).
Williams also went over 10,000 yards from scrimmage on his career, the 13th active player to reach that plateau.
The Bengals’ task is tall.
KDKA Steelers Insider Ed Bouchette with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says the game on Sunday will be different for one big reason. Even though they managed to eek out the win, a last minute field goal by Mike Nugent, there were definitely concerns on how many points their defense managed to concede. I don’t need to wait until a game like this, where the emotions run high, to express that thought. So it’s just part of the chemistry and building it. After burning the Jets deep and forcing a larger cushion at the line of scrimmage, the Bengals’ duo of Green and Andy Dalton utilized the screen game to push the ball downfield. Their 40 touchdown connections are tied with Miami’s Dan Marino and Mark Clayton for the most to start a career.
“That evolves over time”, Dalton said. Here are five fantasy picks to help you get the win. Fantasy owners don’t have to give a second thought to inserting him into lineups. They didn’t play their best, and they still won. The Bengals couldn’t rush worth a lick against the Steelers front seven, and only found marginal success in short-range dump-off plays.
“It’s a very big rivalry”, Heyward said.
The game was the definition of a grind-it-out win for the Steelers, and it’s encouraging to see them win a game where the offense wasn’t at its best. “You’re just trying to get your hands on him and slow him down”.

National Football League director of officiating Dean Blandino told ESPN that veteran referee Pete Morelli’s crew will have a “heightened awareness” for any shenanigans after the last two meetings between the AFC North rivals resulted in social media battles, more than $200,000 in fines and a three-game suspension for Cincinnati linebacker Vontaze Burfict.
