That spoiled a valiant comeback by the Raiders, who roared back to life after falling behind by two touchdowns. “So, it’s tough when you’re not carrying your weight”.
ReutersBen Roethlisberger argues with back judge Perry Paganelli during the 2014 AFC wild card playoff game.
The first-round draft pick leads the team with four sacks and ranks among the top rookie pass rushers. Big Ben is 18-2 in his career against the Browns completing 62% of his passes for 8.29 yards per attempt with 29 touchdowns to just 14 interceptions and a 95.2 QBrating.
The way Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger went down against the Oakland Raiders with a mid-foot sprain and was carted off the field it looked like he was going to be out for a few time.
“Many of the things that we had shown a lot of improvement in, and I’m talking about basic fundamentals – shedding blocks, leveraging the ball and tackling – we really went backwards yesterday in terms of our execution”, Del Rio said.
“The biggest thing is you just can’t relax with a guy like that because he’s a relentless, fearless returner”, shared Antwon Blake, referring to the newly minted Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver, according to Penn Live.

The good news is that DeAngelo Williams did a great impression of Le’Veon Bell Sunday and they have the Cleveland Browns and then a bye coming up before a more brutal stretch of games after that. “There are mistakes in every game, especially in a game like that when we give up that many points, that many yards. The dog immediately responded and tried to make its way over to the player, the K-9 deputy prevented the dog from doing so”. “Their guy made the play”.
