As ESPN’s Sheil Kapadia writes, “By my count, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was 3-for-10 for 24 yards and an interception when throwing to Brown against Sherman”.

Sammy Watkins, Payments: He caught six passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns in his group’s 30-22 loss to the Chiefs.
Defensively, the Colts need to pick up where they left off in last week’s 25-12 home win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if they are going to upset Pittsburgh on the road.
Julius Thomas, Jaguars, caught nine balls for 116 yards and touchdown. Yes, things look bleak because the Chiefs and Texans and Colts keep winning and the Steelers are constantly up-and-down, but there are five weeks left for all that to change.
As December begins, Pittsburgh (6-5) is right in the middle of the chaos wondering how it let a winnable game slip away so convincingly in a 39-30 loss.
The grab led to Seattle’s first score, providing important momentum to an offense that flailed early. Seattle (6-5) enters December as the second wild card team in the NFC playoff race as it attempts to reach the Super Bowl for the third consecutive season.
Two Sundays ago, Rams quarterback Case Keenum suffered an obvious concussion and continued to play.
But attitudes have to begin shifting somewhere, and Roethlisberger is one of the few players with the power to drive that change. “I’ve played through a lot of injuries”, he said. AFC games that we’ve got to win. Louis Lipps had the previous record with 13 in 1984 and ’85.
Seattle had problems with the middle of the field again, and has not been able to cover tight ends all season long.
Getting Ben back would be enormous for the Steelers, who fell to Seattle on Sunday.
Pittsburgh almost abandoned the run all together and attempted just 14 rushes.
“But I think that’s just a portion of his game”.
“The last stop will be at Staples Center on April 13 against the Utah Jazz, an otherwise meaningless game that will become one of the hottest tickets in Los Angeles sports history”, Plaschke wrote. It was not the type of performance the Steelers were looking for after they limited Cleveland to just 15 rushing yards in their previous game. Their team had a great respect for me, and we had great respect for their receiving corps, and it’s back and forth.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed on Tuesday that Roethlisberger does indeed have a concussion and his status for Sunday is still to be determined. The way the Steelers pass defense was playing, there was no way that was happening. There were costly penalties in the return game that forced the Steelers into bad field position. He proceeded to play the next nine plays, which led the Steelers to the red zone for a field goal. Battling flu-like symptoms, Wilson passed for 345 yards and five touchdowns and earned a quarterback rating of a staggering 147.9.
