Run defense is a little frustrating so far. They seem to be occupying their gaps and then a ballcarrier squirts through anyway.

what fucking hold

Hendrickson back in

Kickoffs are short in this cold weather. Can't have any special teams mistakes.

That was a Peyton Manning drive by Joe Burrow.

Same thing got flagged in Philly last week.

They went right at Cam Sample and it worked.

Hendrickson hurt, and the pass rush is already anemic

I was today years old when I learned that the franchise record for consecutive games with a TD pass is held by... Not Anderson Not Esiason Not Palmer Not Dalton Not Burrow But Jeff Blake

24 and 29 yard receptions by Mixon and Perine respectively on that drive. That's how you make up for Chase.

No complaints about screens allowed today

Taylor what the hell was that route

Not great, Volson

That's twice that Hendrickson has made a play in coverage.

Not thrilled with kicking there instead of going for it. Oh well, stay on them defensively and make it count.

Running on 3rd and 6, and it wasn't a draw. Weird.

Atta boy Hurst

Fantastic opening hold, defense.

Pickett looks a lot like Tommy Maddox under the helmet.

Good start for Chrisman.

Let's do it.

Yep. Win this game by whatever means necessary. Don't care, just do it. From there you're 6-4 going into a tough game at Tennessee, but with plenty of confidence and plenty of defense (with Reader back). Maybe Chase returns and maybe not, but that team can be beaten if their offense is stalled. So the same 7-4 posture is right there for the taking. We'll see tomorrow. 5-5 isn't good enough.

Must win as far as I am concerned.

I think Andy came through this time. He laid an egg so the Steelers could get a meaningless win and keep themselves out of range for a top three draft pick.

Cleveland's defense is also terrible.
