Add in the holding on Green in the EZ when Harris already crossed the goal line...

The shocking part? The difference in the game was the OL and Najee. Roethlisberger had time for clean throws most of the day. And the run blocking is coming into it's own now. That was the #1 run defense the Steelers ran through.

Looks like the interior is starting to gel.

I know we were trying to catch the DE’s over pursuing but next game please stop trying those outside runs. They are too athletic.

I don't have a problem with them trying to mix things up to keep teams honest. Didn't Mcfarland have a nice outside run? The Claypool reverse had success.

I thought we went to the well too often on that outside pitch to the RB

McFarland had 1 carry for 1 yard. Not sure why people were saying he was a waste when he only had one touch. Maybe he had a dropped pass? Not sure.

no, McFarland was never targeted in the passing game.

we all know the only reason why he's on the team is because he went to Maryland.

it was a bit random to say he was useless when he had 1 touch after coming back from IR.

I know. Shocking.

It is not like this board is prone to premature overreaction or anything.

and it was said on our TD drive in the 4th quarter.

like someone was on tape delay.

I’m pretty sure his only carry was in the first half.

Congrats Tomlin. You cost us another game with your stupid bull****

you were saying?

Ben Roethlisberger is the Steelers Digest Player of the Week.

Roethlisberger completed 22-of-34 (65 percent) for 266 yards, with one touchdown, no interceptions, and a rating of 98.4. And when the Steelers absolutely, positively needed their quarterback to make a play with 1:48 remaining so that his team could get the first down that would all but ice the outcome, he delivered there as well. He delivered big time, with a perfect strike to Diontae Johnson that not only converted the second-and-8 from the 28-yard line but also allowed Johnson to catch the ball in stride and race 50 yards into Browns territory to stick a dagger into the home team's hopes.

Also considered were Najee Harris, who carried 26 times for 91 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown, and added 29 more yards on three catches to finish with 130 yards from scrimmage; Pat Freiermuth, who caught four passes for 45 yards, including a great grab in the back of the end zone to convert a fourth-and-2 and provide the deciding points; Joe Schobert, who had nine tackles and forced a fumble in the fourth quarter that T.J. Watt recovered; Watt, who had six tackles, including one for loss, plus 1.5 sacks, and that fumble recovery; Cam Heyward, who was an immovable object on the defensive line and finished with four tackles, one-half sack, and four hits on Baker Mayfield.

That was a typical statline for SB Ben, before we got all pass happy.

Nice to get back to that.
