The Steelers raced to a 4-1 record and alleviated concerns they would struggle to find a complement to Brown with talented but mercurial Martavis Bryant serving a one-year suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
On Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Steelers, 21-14. Center Maurkice Pouncey left after the Steelers’ second play from scrimmage with what Foster said was a left-thumb injury.
Fantasy owners can heave a sigh of relief now that the two worst bye weeks have passed. Not six yards (and certainly not 10).
With that in mind, here are some players to consider for Week 10 and beyond. We had a game plan and stuck with it.
Playing with three days rest has become commonplace for National Football League teams, but that doesn’t make it any easier. The former Pittsburgh Steeler was once one of the most hated players among fans of the Ravens.
The question this coming offseason will become – Should the team invest more free agency and draft resources in order to add the few pieces necessary to field a dominant defense in 2017? Last week’s return of WR Steve Smith was another positive that will only help Flacco perform better going forward.
That’s on 53 targets, meaning if you throw the ball to your tight end against Dallas, you’re very likely to complete the pass. As long as he gets the bulk of the work, he’ll be a worthwhile flex option. On the season, he has rushed for just 31 yards on seven carries. Last week he picked up three tackles, but more importantly sacked Roethlisberger for a big loss.
Bud Dupree will be back in practice this week, Tomlin confirmed. But the sight of Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers still seems to bring out the best in the Ravens defense and special teams.
“It is a great rivalry”, Wallace told reporters after the game. However, in the fourth quarter, Roethlisberger found Antonio Brown for a touchdown and even rushed into the endzone himself. “It’s not all the offensive line – definitely not”.
Dixon suffered a chest contusion late in the game, in which he ran a season-high nine times for 13 yards and caught two passes. “It’s increasingly more hard when you shoot yourself in the foot”. Defensively, Baltimore is allowing 19.1 points and 298.8 yards per game. He’s expected to practice later this week.
“If you can open the game and run the ball, that gives a lot of confidence to everybody”, Villanueva said.
Today’s kick is just another example of the Steelers being cute with trick plays and failing. Every time the Steelers should have run the ball, they passed, and every time they should have passed the ball, they ran the ball. Dude, the last thing the game needs is more penalties. The Rams have matchups against the Falcons in Week 14 and the 49ers in Week 16.
Pouncey, who suffered a dislocated thumb on his snapping hand, underwent surgery to fix the dislocated finger, and although most would think this would leave the team short-handed at center for a few weeks, Tomlin didn’t rule out Pouncey returning to practice by the end of the week.
