Steelers resting Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell vs. Browns ahead of postseason

Kizer was just 5/12 for 131 yards and one touchdown in the first half.

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam told reporters after the game he intends to retain Jackson for 2018, Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot reported.

“But trust me, I don’t think anybody knows what the fight is in that room”. We tried. We didn’t do it. “We didn’t take the ball away enough”. I’m glad that you guys (media members) are highlighting that. They also had fallen into a 14-0 deficit early and amassed minus-14 yards on their first two drives. “It’s tough. That play will be remembered”.

You have to feel bad for the Browns and their fans after that one. “They just kept pushing, kept fighting all the way to the end”. The turnover allowed the Steelers to run down the clock and secure the win.

Though there is professional respect for the way the Browns have soldiered on through the lowest point in franchise history, there’s still work to be done, even if it’s by the backups.

“They’re still paying us”.

It’s true that Hue Jackson had a good spell in Cincinnati as offensive coordinator, but AJ Green, Marvin Jones, and Mohamed Sanu aren’t walking through the door when training camp starts, nor is Andy Dalton, Andrew Whitworth or Giovani Bernard. “I think it hurts them to the core about where we are”. “I think it’s making right decisions, doing the right things, having trust in what we’re doing, having people to do it day in and day out, and this thing will get turned”. “I know our fans don’t”. “We got to go do it”.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is weighing how much to play quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and running back Le’Veon Bell, among others. This year, they finished the job, assuring the “Perfect Season” parade will go on as planned Saturday. On third down, Myles Garrett sacked Jones and forced a fumble that Caleb Brantley recovered at the Cleveland 40-yard line.

It’s the ideal cherry on a disgusting sundae that was the Browns’ 2017 season.

Cardinals 26, Seahawks 24: Phil Dawson kicked four field goals, the last from 42 yards with 2:21 left, as Arizona (8-8) beat host Seattle (9-7).

Gordon once again proved to be among the few bright spots on the Browns as he hauled in all four of his catchable targets for 115 yards. Gurley, who is likely to sit in the Rams game, too, leads by 14 yards. The former USC Trojan also had a career-best 122 yards on two kickoff returns, including a key 96-yard touchdown scamper that put the Steelers up 28-21. When life gave Jackson lemons, he made. beet juice, turning a bad roster on paper into a worse one on the field, most prominently mismanaging Kizer. “That’s what we’ll keep it to, and anything after that, we’ll keep you posted”.

Because all the current coaches are under contract, Jackson and the Browns would have to release them.

With the 2017 season done and a new general manager installed you would expect to see the house swept clean and the search for a new head coach to begin, but no… Out injured was WR Antonio Brown. The Steelers will face the higher seed of the two teams that remain from the opening weekend of playoffs, meaning they will either play third seed Jacksonville, fourth seed Kansas City or fifth seed Tennessee. Pittsburgh’s defense ranks second in the league with 50 sacks. Browns QB DeShone Kizer entered the game with the worst passer rating (57.9) of a starting quarterback since JaMarcus Russell’s 50.0 in 2009. Tackle Chris Hubbard replaced Finney at center for the remainder of the game. WR JuJu Smith-Schuster caught nine passes for 143 yards and a touchdown.
