more than 50 points Heath Miller Jersey , they have an all-time record of 3–2 the following week. In 1952 and 1954, the Steelers were victorious the week after scoring 63 and 55 points respectively. The Steelers scored 57 points in their final game of 1967 to bring their record to 5-8-1, so there was no game the following week. In 1979 and 1984, the Steelers lost the week following their 51-point and 52-point performances. In 2014, Ben Roethlisberger followed up his 51-35 win over the Indianapolis Colts with a 43-23 defeat of Baltimore the following week, thowing six touchdowns with a 136.3 QBR. 5 vs. 2In the five games the Steelers scored over 50 points before Ben Roethlisberger was the quarterback, each victory was aided by a plethora of turnovers. Three of the five games had five turnovers, while the other two games sported the defense getting eight and nine takeaways. In the two games in which Ben Roethlisberger has scored over 50 points, the Steelers had only two takeaways in each game.2-0When Ben Roethlisberger has achieved a perfect QBR of 158.3 John Stallworth Jersey , he has a record of 2-0 in games played the following week. In 2007, Ben had a perfect rating in Week 16 and was given the game off the following Sunday in preparation for the playoffs. Earlier in the same season, Roethlisberger had a 158.3 rating against Baltimore in Week 8 which he followed up with a 31 –28 victory over the Browns. In 2005, Ben’s perfect rating in Week 1 was followed by a 27-7 win in Houston with a 139.8 QBR. In the two victories immediately after Ben’s perfect rating, he threw four touchdowns to only one interception.9-3During Ben Roethlisberger’s career, he has a record of 9-3 in games following the extended break from playing on Thursday the previous week (when he played in both the Thursday game and the game the following week). In those nine victories, the Steelers’s have scored an average of 34.1 points.5Not only is the Steelers current win streak five games, but they have also won their last five games following a Thursday night contest. Their last defeat in such a game was against the Miami Dolphins in 2013. The last time the Steelers lost after a Thursday night victory was in 2011 when they fell on Monday Night Football to the San Francisco 49ers. During the current post-Thursday streak, the Steelers have an average margin of victory of 12 points. The Pittsburgh Steelers have been here before. Often in fact.A jarring early-season misstep filled with mental breakdowns and missed opportunity is kind of their thing.So too Jack Butler Jersey , it seems, is finding new ways to explain the erratic behavior of All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown.Even a day removed from a 42-37 home loss to Kansas City that dropped the two-time defending AFC North champions to 0-1-1, the talk didn’t center on a defense that gave up a franchise-record tying six touchdown passes , but on the latest outburst by the talented if mercurial Brown.The four-time All-Pro — who caught nine passes for 67 yards against the Chiefs — responded to a tweet by a former team employee who suggested Brown wouldn’t put up his eye-popping numbers without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger by suggesting “trade me let’s find out.”The post caused an immediate stir on social media but not in the Pittsburgh locker room, even after cameras caught Brown venting on the sideline in the second half and slowly trudging off the field even as his teammates celebrated Roethlisberger’s diving 3-yard touchdown run with 1:59 to go that pulled the Steelers within five.Brown did not make himself available to media afterward and was nowhere to be found Monday, leaving his teammates to try and explain away his behavior. Again.“I’m not worried about his frame of mind,” veteran wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey said. “I know football is No. 1 to him. He works his butt off to be the great player that he is. As long as he brings that same energy in practice and brings that same energy to the game, I don’t have any problem with him, because I’ve seen guys who don’t care in this league and they don’t last long.”The issue with Brown has never been work ethic. The former sixth-round pick is the only player in NFL history to post five consecutive seasons with at least 100 receptions. Yet the 30-year-old has become increasingly volatile. During minicamp he complained about having the spotlight on him Joe Greene Jersey , then arrived at training camp in a helicopter . He called a reporter who noticed him limping off the field during workouts at Saint Vincent College — in full view of fans — a clown. Last Friday he issued a bizarre soliloquy about his status, calling himself “an exceptionalism” before adding he’s “not an ordinary guy.”Of that there is no doubt. And his teammates stress there is no issue with everything that comes with having Brown in the fold.“AB is a hell of a player and I’m glad he plays for our team,” defensive end Cam Heyward said. “It’s as simple as that. I wouldn’t trade him for anybody in the world.”At the same time, Heyward made it a point to steer the topic away from Brown, who had nothing to do with Pittsburgh’s defensive issues against the Chiefs.“If we ain’t talking about football, we’re talking the wrong thing,” Heyward said. “All this other stuff is beside the point.”The point being the Steelers find themselves preparing for a Monday night trip to surprising Tampa Bay (2-0) at crossroads, familiar territory during their run to four straight playoff berths.Last fall, it was the national anthem debacle that preceded an overtime loss to Chicago. Two years ago they started 2-0 only to get drilled on the road in Philadelphia by a rookie quarterback named Carson Wentz. In 2015 they celebrated the first day of October by blowing a fourth-quarter lead at home to Baltimore. Back in 2014 they allowed Tampa Bay’s Mike Glennon to spark a late rally at Heinz Field Ernie Stautner Jersey , one of two games the Buccaneers would win all season.Each time, the Steelers chose patience over panic. Each time, they recovered to reach the postseason.“I think you panic when you know you’ve lost control,” Heyward Bey said. “We haven’t lost control.”Maybe, but it looked like that way at times against Kansas City. The secondary, playing without injured veteran cornerback Joe Haden, looked flat-footed at times and lost at others. There was no pass rush to speak of — the only sack came when Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes crashed into nose tackle Daniel McCullers. After spending camp talking about improved communication, the Steelers spent plenty of time looking at each other before Mahomes snapped the ball, as if trying to figure out where they were supposed to go.“We’ve got to make sure we’re on top of each other L.C. Greenwood Jersey ,” cornerback Mike Hilton said. “We’ve got to make sure we know what we’re doing so explosive plays like we gave up yesterday don’t happen all the time. It’s a copycat league, so some team might be doing the same thing Kansas City did.”A team like, say, the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is unbeaten thanks in large part to 35-year-old quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has gone over 400 yards in each of Tampa Bay’s first two games. What looked like a mismatch two weeks ago looks far different now.“It’s a big week,” Heyward-Bey said. “It’s a Monday night game. It’s prime time against a team that’s thrown for a lot of yards and scored a lot of touchdowns and are confident. We’ve got to find a way to light our fire and put theirs out.”___ |
