I think we can already declare that Buffalo are the worst team in the league. They were 40-0 down early in the third before the Ravens stopped bothering. 47-3 the final.

14 points up in the 4th quarter too. Big Ben seemed to think he was above playing safety first football in the bad weather. Five or was it six turnovers, 12 penalties for 100+ yards. A joke performance by the Steelers.
Then, at the same time the Browns still could not get it done, Tyrod Taylor is just not up to it. They may as well bring in Mayfield next week. You just knew that the Browns would not manage to kick that FG at the end.

It was a pretty awful effort, wasn't it! Someone was bound to block it.

Nice tumble TD from Sanders to put the Broncos up against the Seahawks.

Cam Newton lighting it up for the Panthers.
Seahawks not playing well at all (though Dissley’s having a good debut), but 10-17 at halftime means we’re still in the game.

Must be middle of the night for you in Dubai? I find these late games bad enough in the UK having to get up early in the morning.
Yup, it’s currently 2:20am! As long as I still get 4hrs kip, I’ll manage...

Good thing you weren't following the Dolphins game. The game was suspended ages ago because of lightning. Must be quite a storm.

Aaron Rodgers carted off AGAIN.

Rodgers is back out, he's limping, and he's being Aaron Rodgers!

Just astonishing. Aaron Rodgers is unique. Playing the second half with one usable leg and to come back to win from 20-0 down is simply remarkable.
Haha (Clinton-Dix) the CareBears are the team that just keep on giving.
Rodgers OWNING them once again, he only needs one quarter and one leg to bet them.

and he's making himself nice and comfy in Rodgers pocket.
Just catching up on the twitter reaction.

A Tie! What a fourth quarter comeback! No 0-16 for us this season! Ok it was only against the Steelers and not a decent team (and they turned it over six times), but still. We'd have folded last season. Pity we couldn't nick it in O/T, but still, baby steps and all that.
Here we go Brownies Woof! Woof!

The worst game of Big Ben's entire career (far worse than the 5INT effort in the regular season against Jacksonville last year.)
For all the talk about how Connor replaced Bell with ease (he did), against a Browns run defence that was fairly stout last year, if that fumble doesn't happen we win. And which running back currently working on his rap album rather than playing football has one of the lowest fumble rates in the NFL?
I thought it from the small sample size last year but last night confirmed, Myles Garrett, as long as he steers clear of injury, is going to be a generational talent. Denzel Ward had a dream NFL debut as well and hands up, I thought the Browns reached slightly on him. The Browns have got a lot of talent now, they just need the offence to get on the same page, sack Hue Jackson and there's a decent team here with the potential to improve.
Bizarrely though as a Steelers fan there was a lot to like. We aren't going to turn the ball over 6 times in every game and to do that and still not lose is an achievement in itself. The two big questions coming into the game for us were - can Connor replace Bell? (yes, easily) and is this defense going to suck as hard as it did at the end of last season (I doubt it but Joe Haden's injury didn't help.)

It wasn't missed was it? T.J Watt blocked it to go along with his 4 sacks.

Yet, when 21-7 up, rather than killing the Browns off (they just couldn't stop Pittsburgh in the third quarter) we went super-conservative and let them back into the game. The new OC Randy Fichtner had an absolute nightmare of a day.

Brilliant Browns stat here
"The Browns are +5 in takeaways today. Since the Browns returned to the NFL, teams with a turnover margin of +5 or better in a game are 132-4-1. The Browns are responsible for two of those losses and the tie."
