We'll see what they do here on O. Starting with great field position thanks to a defense that rose to the occasion without Devin Bush to start the half. Bush is one of 10 linebackers who hadn't missed a snap for his defense coming into this week. Really a major, major story line from this game.

Michael Mozart

2:55

Trapped in his own endzone, and injured, he gets off a 59 yd punt. Wish Pit could do the same.

Brian, do the Steelers go conservative and run more in the second half or continue with passing more?

Brian Batko

2:56

I think they'll work the clock. I would.

Doyle37

2:56

Spillane looks good so far

rman

2:56

The only positive on Bush's injury is that he walked off the field.

Brian Batko

2:57

Sure but that doesn't mean he avoided something season-ending.

is ben's arm ok,,,,,,,,,looks like its hanging a little

Brian Batko

2:58

Haven't noticed that.

3rd& 1 .... PASS????? Run LEFT

Brian Batko

2:58

Got it with the run on fourth.

2:59

Anthony McFarland checks in on first-and-19. Only his second or third snap I believe.

Elwood P Dowd

That screen had some potential

Poor play by Pouncey

Guest

3:00

why doesn't ben run the qb sneak?

Brian Batko

3:00

Because the 2019 season happened.

Er, I should say: Look at what happened without him in 2019

Steelersfaninct

3:02

Wow. Ticky tack

Brian Batko

3:02

He did extend the arm a bit, though.

HudsonValleySteve

3:02

well this one messed up series

Brian Batko

3:02

Yep. Steelers punting on fourth-and-16. Which is a square root.

Elwood P Dowd

3:02

Probably a good call on the PI

Brian Batko

3:03

Not sure anyone's paying attention to Denver at New England, but the Broncos lead 18-3 and every score in the game has been a field goal. Fun times in Foxboro.

Guest

3:04

MCfarland threw that whole series off schedule with his mistake.

Elwood P Dowd

3:04

Cam playing?

Brian Batko

3:04

Cam Newton IS playing, yes.

Guest

3:04

who cares, take care of your own business

Brian Batko

3:04

Indeed, the Steelers still need to finish this one. But it's not all that hard to scoreboard-watch.

Doyle37

3:04

Pouncey threw it off

pjsmith67

3:05

Cam newton just threw a pick

rman

3:05

another pick 6 here would be icing on the cake

Doyle37

3:05

Let's see how Spillane does

Brian Batko

3:05

Poor guy is out there playing every defensive snap now too on top of all special teams duty. He's probably happy he's getting the chance, though.

Guest

3:06

poor guy? come on man,,,,, these guys got it made

Brian Batko

3:06

I'm sorry.

3:07

Third-and-4, Cam Sutton in for the Steelers who bring the house and force an incompletion.

Paul

3:07

Spillane has been solid! Nice surprise

Brian Batko

3:08

Hold on, Browns challenging that JArvis Landry made the catch along the sideline. But did he even get the first anyway?

Steelersfaninct

3:09

Looks like a catch

Elwood P Dowd

3:09

Looked short to me
