DeAngelo Williams could leave the Steelers with a weak backfield in Saturday’s showdown against the rival Bengals. He looked up and saw thousands of Steelers fans waving their Terrible Towels while reacting to the news from Orchard Park, New York, that the Bills had helped them out. But the fact is in the two full seasons we’ve owned the team we’ve won seven games and three games, which is unacceptable.

Williams suffered a foot and ankle injury in the Steelers’ Week 17 win at Cleveland, and head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday the team is considering him to be “day to day”, though it is unclear if the veteran running back will be cleared to practice later this week. He led the Steelers to wins in Super Bowl XL after the 2005 season and in Super Bowl XLIII. “We need to be great”.
“We’re not going to worry about what we’ve done in the last couple of years”.
“I knew that he would be fine”, Foster said. You’re going to have to do your best, throw out all of the records, throw out where you are playing.
Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis also said his team is preparing to start backup quarterback A.J. McCarron.
Typically, all of those factors combined together result in a loss, and a bad loss at that. If that team shows up in the playoffs, there could be heck to pay.
“It’s hard not to, especially in the second half”, admitted Heath Miller.
Toussaint saw his first extensive action Sunday but was less than impressive, rushing for just 24 yards on 12 carries.
“I’m not into pleading,”Pettine said”. Tremendous route by Brown, even better throw by Roethlisberger. But the one factor which played into the Bengals’ favor was a slight 3-to-2 turnover margin, aided by picking off Ben Roethlisberger three times, while Andy Dalton tossed a pair of interceptions. Strong safety Donte Whitner missed two games with a concussion and free safety Tashaun Gipson missed three with an ankle injury.
So the Steelers made it into the playoffs partly because the Jets went and pulled a Jets, but that’s not reason enough to dismiss them as a serious contender.
“We’ll begin the search for the head coach right away”, Haslam said.
The game was decided when Fitzpatrick’s sidearm pass over the middle was intercepted by linebacker A.J. Tarpley with 11 seconds remaining. Todman finished the regular season with four carries for 22 yards and was inactive for the final five games of the regular season. Part of the reason for the 53 sacks allowed is the Browns played from behind most of the season.
“That’s the ultimate goal, to win the championship”, Harrison said. We’ve just got to give it everything we have this week. “But we need to be that way as a team”. This has been much harder than we thought it would be, and there’s a definite learning curve.
In the meantime, they should spare no small expense for a nod to another team.

“You’ve got to be very conscious in the ways that you challenge yourself and the ways you seek comfort”. It’s the least they could do as a gesture of gratitude for giving them a second chance. “A lot of thanks to coach (Rex) Ryan and the rest of the Bills and everybody in Buffalo”. “I know they’re excited about 8-8, and we’re excited that they got us in”.
