I ate something amusing, I don’t know. Cincinnati is up next on the road; the Bengals bounced back from a two-game losing streak to blow out St. Louis Sunday. “But that’s what we had to do today”.

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was injured in that same game, as he suffered concussion-like symptoms that required him to miss the Steelers’ final offensive possession.
Visiting Seattle for the first time in his career, Roethlisberger ignored the noise of the “12th Man” and put together the best passing performance ever against the Seahawks.
The Seahawks were seemingly at their best on third-and-long. Wilson threw three touchdowns to Doug Baldwin, two coming in the final 8:12, including an 80-yard catch-and-run TD with 2:01 left that gave the Seahawks a nine-point lead.
“Luke’s got plenty of confidence”, said Carroll.
Even if you want to blame it on Jones for not calling a timeout if he didn’t get the right look, the brunt of the blame belongs on Tomlin.
Redskins 20, Giants 14: Kirk Cousins threw a 63-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson and scored on a quarterback sneak, Washington intercepted Eli Manning three times, and the Redskins pulled into a tie for the NFC East lead.
“You could see his focus was a little bit sharper”. He had that killer instinct. The Steelers have played 11, meaning he has started and finished just three.
According to Mark Kaboly of Triblive.com, DeAngelo Williams supported the decisions, saying, “I will never second-guess him, and nobody else should, either”.
49ers: Tight end Garrett Celek was carted off the field with a left ankle injury. “For me, I knew that God had brought me in her life to bless her and for her to bless me”, Wilson said back in July at Rock Church in San Diego, California. “He’s such a great teammate and a good player”.
One who did Sunday was DeShawn Shead, the former Portland State Viking making his third career start – and his first at cornerback in place of Cary Williams, who had started the previous 10 games at the position. Before exiting the game, he threw for 456 yards, which set a career-high in a regular-season road game and are the most by an opposing player against Seattle in franchise history….
As always we love talking football, particularly Steelers football. “He’s been competing and battling like insane”. Running back Lynch will be out for few more weeks, and the Seahawks will have to depend on in-form Wilson. They’ve led in the fourth quarter in three of their five defeats. Louis Lipps had the previous record with 13 in 1984 and ’85…. A loss drops them down to 17 percent. So the win over Roethlisberger and the Steelers was significant. Six teams make the playoffs, the four division winners and two wild card teams. I can’t remember the Arizona game.
Is the eternal optimist feeling momentum building? “We’ll see how he feels”.
The game served as some continued redemption for a Seahawks passing attack that has taken its share of criticism this season.
Wilson is of a similar mindset.
“Someone’s going to have to pay for this”, Cam Heyward said. ” … Obviously we are proving that, and hopefully we can keep that going”.
For now, they will move on without him for the rest of this season – the third straight year they will have to make their playoff run without their big trade acquisition.
