Williams and Heyward-Bey also don’t have to fret over the fact that they’re behind studs the ilk of Bell and Brown on the depth chart, nor do they have the delusions that they’re going to eventually take their jobs.

The Steelers are coming fresh off of their first win of the season in their home opener against the San Francisco 49ers.
Wheaton, who’s been an integral part of the offense with Martavis Bryant suspended for the first four games, has a chest injury. The Rams have practiced using a silent count just in case, although quarterback Nick Foles said he didn’t need it in the opening victory over Seattle despite raucous Seahawks fans.
Bell would continue to impress by finishing the regular season with 2,215 total yards of offense in route to becoming a starter in the Pro Bowl.
“I haven’t played my best football yet”, Donald said during training camp. They’re hopeful that once he returns he’ll get back to the dominant ways that saw him haul in eight touchdowns in just 10 games previous year.
In his last five games against NFC opponents, Le’Veon Bell has averaged 153.6 yards from scrimmage, and has four touchdowns. You guys have no idea. But most of the great ones don’t get by on talent alone. And yet, for some reason, the Steelers seem to be the only team looking at this new math. According to ESPN, Roethlisberger and Steelers quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner take time every week to review their favorite goal line plays and search for the ones that they think would work best for two-point conversions. Clay caught 3 passes for 19 yards in all. Along with preventing the pass, the defense needs to bottle up Bell, who will be itching for the ball as he sees his first action of the 2015 season. “So I’d like to think he’s caught up by this point”. “Obviously, I wanted to be out there with my team, but I understand I had a suspension to serve”. Even so, he’s managed to tally a combined six tackles and sack the always well-protected Tom Brady and the ever-elusive Colin Kaepernick in his first two games. Spence played in the base defense and Williams came in on the nickel package.
“We talked about it previously, before the season; I knew what was happening”, he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch after Week 1. He did everything plus more than I expected. “Jarvis (Jones) and (James Harrison), and I’m just trying to run with it”. He knows that scoring early in a game and going for two also can put pressure on the opposition.

Tomlin finally sent kicker Josh Scobee out for a one-point kick after Darrius Heyward-Bey’s 35-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter. The extra point had essentially become automatic. He’s aiming for his third in a row against the Steelers for a 50+ yard day.
