Steelers beat Browns 28-12, slide into AFC playoffs
The Steelers (10-6) earned a wild-card berth as a result of their win and the Buffalo Bills’ 22-17 victory over the New York Jets. This is a lot of points to lay on a road team but the Browns aren’t going to match what Ben Roethlisberger and Co.do offensively.
Russel Wilson and the Seahawks knew this is important ball game for the team.
Jets loss to Bills sends Pittsburgh into AFC playoffs
Pettine enters with a 10-21 record , a mark made worse by the Browns’ disappointing performance on defense this season. However, a Steelers win coupled with a Jets loss to Buffalo would propel the Black and Gold into the playoff picture .
The Seahawks defense that everyone said was toast early in the year is back, y’all.
Saudis cut ties with Iran following Shiite cleric execution
However, Ayatollah Khamenei said the Shia cleric had been executed for his opposition to Saudi Arabia’s Sunni rulers. Hundreds of protesters later demonstrated in front of the embassy and in a central Tehran square.
All in all, this is a team that no one in the National Football League wants to face right now.

“I have an expectation of that”, Carroll said of Monday’s return. It’s a nice wakeup call. “I’m going to keep working and get ready for the playoffs”. WR Doug Baldwin is first Seahawk to have 1,000-yard receiving season since Bobby Engram in 2007….
Seattle’s seeding depends on Sunday night’s Vikings-Packers game, which decides the NFC North champion.
“We’ll see what that means here in the next couple of days, but he has really tried to get back as soon as possible”.
Palmer has thrown for 4,542 yards this season with a 64.5 percent completion ratio. There could be some opportunity to take down the slippery Wilson.
During the team’s previous contest against the Green Bay Packers, starting running back Eddie Lacy managed only 60 yards.
“We’re not in any way panicking or freaking out”, Palmer said. Backup quarterback Drew Stanton entered the game on Arizona’s first possession while Seattle waited until the fourth quarter to replace Wilson with Tarvaris Jackson. Wilson was 19 of 28 for 197 yards in addition to his three passing TDs. The drive ended almost effortlessly with a toss to Will Tukuafu for a touchdown.
But things are quite different this time around and despite how closely matched these two team are on paper, the Cardinals have all the tools to really cause some damage today. “So we understand what we’re going to be dealing with, the kind of competition it’s going to be, and we have to raise our level of play, plain and simple”.

Then came the Seahawks’ deluge. Wilson hit Jermaine Kearse in the end zone 3 plays later. Chandler Catanzaro missed the extra point for the 5th time this season making it a 10-6 game. Lynch ran for 42 yards and a touchdown. He was called for unsportsmanlike conduct on the second-to-last play of the third quarter when he made a gesture that looked he was pulling down his trousers and squatting.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone given how well Carson Palmer has been playing all season – and that’s thanks to great receivers like Michael Floyd, Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown. Shead and Lane alternated opposite Sherman last week and will be tested by Palmer. Arizona defensive lineman Cory Redding injured an ankle in the first quarter and did not return…. The Seahawks were without safety Kam Chancellor because of a pelvis injury. He’d been listed as questionable coming into the game.
