PITTSBURGH -- Trailing early in the second quarter on Monday night and his team well within field goal range, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin could have opted for a field goal that would have cut Washingtons lead in half. Ronnie Lott Womens Jersey .Instead, he sent a message that might as well double as Pittsburghs mission statement in 2016.Forget the odds. The Steelers are going to go for it.Moments after Tomlin pointed to the offense to stay on the field, Ben Roethlisberger hit Antonio Brown for a 29-yard touchdown that gave Pittsburgh a lead and all the momentum it would need in an eventual 38-16 victory in which the Steelers high-powered offense looked very capable of living up to its hype.Tomlin doesnt consider the call gutsy. With the talent the team has at its disposal, why not go for it?It wasnt haphazard by any stretch, Tomlin said Tuesday. We prepared for it during the week and the guys created enough comfort in us through preparation that we had very little hesitation not only making that call, but making a similar call a few moments later.Faced with a similar situation on Pittsburghs ensuing drive, the Steelers let loose again, with Roethlisberger hitting Eli Rogers for 19 yards on fourth-and-1 at the Washington 34 with under two minutes to go in the half.That drive also finished in the end zone, with Rogers catching the first touchdown of his career after a Roethlisberger pass caromed off Sammie Coates right to Rogers.So much for Pittsburgh being hampered early in the season while waiting for running back LeVeon Bell to return from a three-game suspension and tight end Ladarius Green nursing a lingering ankle injury.We hold ourselves to high expectations, Roethlisberger said. I think people thought, `What are you going to do without Martavis (Bryant)? What are you going to do without LeVeon? Without (retired) Heath Miller? My message was, `Well, weve got Sammie Coates, Eli, and all the tight ends (and) DeAngelo Williams.That was more than enough to overwhelm the Redskins, who looked helpless as Brown lit them up for 11 receptions for 126 yards, two touchdowns and a comically risque celebration that drew a flag and set social media aflame.Its not about who is on me, Brown said. It was about getting the job done. Whatever that takes.Which should only ramp up the next Sunday when Pittsburgh hosts Cincinnati in their first meeting since a memorably contentious victory by the Steelers in the wild-card round last January.The Bengals appeared to have things well in hand with the ball in Pittsburgh territory and the lead with less than two minutes to go only to see the Steelers rally for an improbable win following an epic meltdown by the Bengals.Cincinnati committed a pair of personal fouls in the final seconds, including a shot to Browns head that left him concussed and forced to sit out the Steelers divisional round loss to Denver.Cincinnati is already trying to downplay the rematch, with the coaching staff basically ordering the players to tone down any rhetoric.Tomlin doesnt feel its required for the Steelers. Last time he checked, his team wasnt the one that lost its composure.I thought largely, our guys handled themselves appropriately and didnt get consumed by the emotions that comprised the recent elements of the matchup, Tomlin said. I dont anticipate anything changing this time around.And for all of the gaudy stats put up against Washington, there are issues Tomlin would like to see addressed.The pass rush didnt get to Kirk Cousins, something hed like to see corrected to prevent Cincinnatis Andy Dalton and A.J. Green from getting loose.We have to create more disruption, Tomlin said. We have to get after the quarterback more, particularly when were ahead.Game notes LB Ryan Shazier was being evaluated on Tuesday for a knee issue that Shazier tried to downplay after the victory. I know he felt good about his circumstance after the game, but we will let the medical experts determine that and his status, Tomlin said. ... WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder) will have a significant chance to play against Cincinnati after sitting out the opener.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Solomon Thomas Womens Jersey . The All-Pro lineman got the leg bent under him while trying to make a tackle during the first half of a 22-20 overtime loss at Miami on Thursday night. The medical staff initially thought hed torn the ligament, and the test a day later in Cincinnati confirmed it. Deion Sanders 49ers Jersey . The 17-year-old native of Marystown, N.L., pulled out of Skate Canada International last month in Saint John, N.B., with the same problem. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Jalen-Hurd-Jersey/ . Bryant, who signed a five-year, $34 million contract as a free agent with Cleveland in March, reported symptoms on Monday morning, a team spokesman said. CULLOWHEE, N.C. -- Tyrie Adams passed for 427 yards and five touchdowns, Spearman Robinson had a career-high 13 receptions, and Western Carolina finished with 30 straight points in a 44-14 win over Gardner-Webb on Saturday night.Adams, a redshirt freshman, completed 36 of 43 attempts with two interceptions and added 83 yards rushing in his second collegiate start. He passed for 167 yards on 12-of-24 passing in last weeks 52-7 blowout loss at East Carolina.After Logan Howards 38-yard field goal gave Western Carolina a 17-14 lead going into the half, Adams connected on four second-half TD passes -- two to Robinson and one each to Michael Helms and Detrez Newsome -- as the Catamounts (1-1) pulled away. Nick Bosa Jersey.
