ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Derek Carr knew there would be growing pains adjusting to a new offense for the Oakland Raiders under coach Jon Gruden.The surprising part for Carr and the Raiders is instead of showing steady progress throughout the year, the offense instead has regressed.The Raiders (1-8) head into Sunday’s game at Arizona (2-7) having gone back-to-back games without a touchdown for the first time since 2012, with the nine combined points in losses to San Francisco and the Chargers marking the lowest two-game output for Oakland since 2009.“It gets frustrating because I know how hard some of our guys work and you expect it to continue to go this way,” Carr said about the early season progress that hasn’t been maintained. “But this league, it’s tough man, and it’ll humble some guys really quick. … When you turn the film on it’s like, dang, if I just had that Derek Carr Jersey White , or if I just would have checked to this or done this.“You can sit there and second-guess it all the time, but the only thing that we have the opportunity to do is do our best right when it’s in front of us. So, that’s what we have to do better, we all have to play better. Coach puts us in great positions, we just have to play better.”The Raiders will try to improve the production this week despite possibly missing several key pieces on offense. Receiver Martavis Bryant is out at least a couple of weeks with a knee injury and receiver Jordy Nelson didn’t practice Wednesday with a knee injury that has put his status in doubt this week.Oakland already is without injured running back Marshawn Lynch, who is on injured reserve with a groin injury, and traded away No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper last month to Dallas. to rookie Marcell Ateman, who began the year on the practice squad and has been inactive since getting promoted to the 53-man roster last month. Undrafted rookie Saeed Blacknall was promoted from the practice squad Wednesday and also could play a role.Carr has been impressed with Ateman’s hard work at practice and attention to detail.“One thing that really stuck out is during games, he’ll come up to me and ask questions, not in a bothersome way or anything like that just, ‘Hey, what did you see here? What if they ran the route like this?'” Carr said.“So, I can tell that he’s not just here taking a redshirt year Antonio Brown Raiders Jersey , enjoying his time wearing the team colors, he’s really put in a lot of work and it means something to him. He’s shown that, so hopefully he just goes out there and cuts it loose, because he’s done all the right things, now he’s just got to go play.”Ateman showed flashes in training camp, as he was able to use his size and jumping ability to make contested catches even when going up against the first team.Ateman said the past few months of practice have made him even more ready to perform on Sunday.“I didn’t take a back seat when I got on the practice squad,” he said. “I kept working that so when I get my opportunity I’m better.”NOTES: C Rodney Hudson (ankle), G Kelechi Osemele (knee), CB Gareon Conley (ankle), CB Daryl Worley (shoulder) and LB Kyle Wilber (knee) were all limited in practice. … The Raiders also signed WRs Rashard Davis and WR ArDarius Stewart to the practice squad.

Whether he’s ready or not Womens Bryce Love Jersey , Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins may end up starting this week.And whether or not they actually believe it, his coaches are saying all the right things about the rookie’s work.Via Les Carpenter of the , interim coach Bill Callahan praised Haskins’ work in practice, while starter Case Keenum remains in the concussion protocol.“The ball wasn’t even on the floor the entirety of the day, which was really impressive,” Callahan said, which sets a pretty low bar for a guy whose command of the playbook has been questioned — unless it hasn’t.If Keenum isn’t cleared by the weekend, Haskins will make his first start at Buffalo.Callahan has said that Keenum will start when healthy, but he praised Haskins for his “tempo” and said that he “took command of the offense.”“I just think we started a course at the beginning of the year philosophically and we have held true to that course and we will maintain that,” Callahan said. “I really believe Case earned the starting quarterback position, he was voted captain by his teammates. . . .“We’re not confusing the issue here, Case is our starter and if he is healthy and ready he will be going forward.”But the issue of Haskins’ readiness will remain as long as the journeyman Keenum is ahead of him, until he gets on the field and proves it one way or another. Dwayne Haskins is battling job in Washington. The 15th overall choice, though, isn’t concerning himself with that.“I don’t really worry about starting Week One https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-terry-mclaurin-jersey ,” Haskins said, via Peter Hailey of NBCSportsWashington.com. “I just want to be ready to play Week One, whether that’s this year or next year or whenever my time comes for me to play. I just want to make sure that when I do play, I don’t want to look back.”Keenum is new to the offense, having arrived via an offseason trade from Denver. Colt McCoy spent the offseason rehabbing after three surgeries on the ankle he broke last season.Washington drafted Haskins as their franchise quarterback. He won’t sit the bench long, if at all, but he has work to do to beat out Keenum and McCoy in training camp.Coach Jay Gruden likes where Haskins is after the offseason program, but the next six weeks could determine whether Haskins starts the season opener.Haskins’ vacation plans include studying and training, trying to “find that 1 percent [improvement] every day.”“When I know what I’m doing, I feel like I’m pretty good,” Haskins said. “Then, there are times where I got to freelance, where I don’t know. Just the biggest thing is trying to learn and add to the foundation every day. Once I figure out the plays, I feel like the sky’s the limit for me.”

Travis Frederick didn't fully understand the business of football when the Dallas Cowboys drafted their center six years ago and made him an instant starter.Eventually Bo Jackson Jersey , the four-time Pro Bowler saw what Dallas was trying to build by using first-round picks on offensive linemen three times in four drafts after never having taken a blocker that high in 22 years under owner and general manager Jerry Jones.The Cowboys have become consistent winners behind the line with the NFL's highest salary cap figure. While Dallas isn't the only example of a club benefiting from a heavy investment up front, the New England Patriots are several notches higher than Dallas as an elite team with a more frugal approach."You'll never see your skill live up to its potential if you're not good on the offensive and defensive lines," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. "That's just something I always believed in."After Garrett took over midseason in 2010 with an aging line, the Cowboys' first pick in the next draft was tackle Tyron Smith ninth overall. Frederick went late in the first round in 2013, and guard Zack Martin in the middle of the opening round a year later.Dallas hit on all three choices, and therefore had to pay each. That's why the Cowboys top the list of salary cap numbers for offensive lines at $53 million, according to overthecap.com.Since adding Martin to complete the core of the Dallas front, the Cowboys have made the playoffs three times in five seasons — including both years that Ezekiel Elliott won rushing titles.While Dallas hasn't made the long postseason run that has eluded the franchise since the last of five championships nearly 25 years ago, the two playoff victories in the past five seasons are one more than the Cowboys had the previous 17 years."I think we take pride in the group that we put together," Frederick said. "It didn't come down to the people and the picks for us. We have no control over it. It's not like we as a group have chosen the people that have come in. It's that we as a group have taken the people that have come in and tried to build a group with a standard that we're proud of."The Patriots are on the verge of a 19th straight winning season despite ranking near the bottom of the league in spending on the offensive line at $23.8 million. Protecting Tom Brady has been the most important thing on the way to six Super Bowl titles because the running game has generally been secondary.Two years ago, New England left tackle Nate Solder was perhaps the most-coveted left tackle in free agency, and the Patriots let him go at age 29 and two years removed from a torn biceps. Solder hasn't been the same for the New York Giants, who are 7-19 since signing him.There is only one lineman, right tackle Marcus Cannon, among the top 10 salary cap figures for the Patriots.Baltimore, with the NFL's best running quarterback in MVP candidate Lamar Jackson, has the highest-rated line in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus, while ranking 27th — two spots ahead of the Patriots — in cap spending. Three linemen are on rookie deals, and another is an undrafted free agent.Oakland coach Jon Gruden has stressed building the offensive line ever since returning to the Raiders before last season. He used a first-round pick to draft left tackle Kolton Miller his first season and took another tackle, Brandon Parker, in the third round.The Raiders then gave right tackle Trent Brown the richest deal ever for a lineman in free agency last March, signing him to a $66 million https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , four-year deal. Oakland also added left guard Richie Incognito in free agency and gave center Rodney Hudson a $33.75 million, three-year extension before the start of this season.The moves have paid off as the Raiders have allowed a league-low 37 quarterback pressures through the first nine weeks, leading to a big rebound season from quarterback Derek Carr for a playoff contender."I'm a huge believer in building the offensive line, and you get around that group and watch what's going on and he is the quintessential glue player," general manager Mike Mayock said of Hudson. "We thought it was really important as we continue to develop this offensive line."While left tackle has long been the highest-paid position because of protecting a QB's blind side, the value of guards has gone up in recent years.The Cowboys' Martin has the highest annual average among guards after signing a six-year, $84 million extension with $40 million guaranteed in 2018. Over the past five years, the average annual salary cap value among the top five right guards has increased 65%.Tennessee used a first-round pick to get Taylor Lewan in 2014 and made him the highest-paid left tackle at an average of $16 million per season last year.The Titans have made the playoffs just once in that span, winning a wild-card game in 2017, and Lewan is fourth in the NFL in penalties this season for a 5-5 team outside the postseason picture at the moment."It's crazy. It's horrible," Lewan said. "I cannot get penalties. I'm sorry. There's no need to ask about it because I know I'm an absolute liability when it comes to penalties."The burden of expectations comes with the heavy investments, but Frederick doesn't think that's why things have paid off for the Cowboys."It all really comes down to you doing your job," Frederick said. "It has nothing to do with the fact that they put three first-round picks into it and that you're supposed to be a group that's lived up to some sort of pressure or expectation."With the line Garrett advocated for building, the pressure is on a coach in the final year of his contract to take the Cowboys further in the playoffs than they've been in a long time.AP Sports Writers Josh Dubow, David Ginsburg, Kyle Hightower and Teresa M. Walker contributed to this story. One name who slipped through the cracks on many lists of top free agents this offseason was Markus Golden. That’s because we’re in a ‘what have you done for me lately?’ world and Golden has 2.5..."One name who slipped through the cracks on many lists of top free agents this offseason was Markus Golden. That’s because we’re in a ‘what have you done for me lately?’ world and Golden has 2.5 sacks the past two seasons. But there are some NFL folks who didn’t forget that the 28-year-old had 12.5 sacks in 2016 before tearing his ACL. , there are four teams said to be competing for his services right now according to Vic Tafur of the Athletic. The Raiders are one of them along with the Chiefs, Buccaneers, and Giants.As Tafur mentioned, there is a connection with Golden. His former defensive line coach in Arizona is Brentson Buckner who is the Raiders new DL coach. Buckner was the Cardinals’ DL coach when they made Golden their pick in the 2nd round of the 2015 draft and for the first three years of Golden’s career.If all things are equal that connection could tip the scales to him joining the Raiders over the other interested suitors. The only other team that may hold an advantage would be the Chiefs because Golden is a native of St Louis and stayed near home for college ball at Missouri. And the Chiefs just traded Dee Ford and released Justin Houston so they’re as desperate to sign a pass rusher as the Raiders are. If that’s even possible.Follow @LeviDamien

Foster Moreau Dwayne Haskins Jersey , TESchool: LSU | Conference: SECCollege Experience: Senior | Age: 21Height / Weight: 6-4 / 250 lbsProjected Draft Status: 5th or 6th RoundNFL Comparison: Ben BrauneckerCollege StatisticsPlayer OverviewFoster Moreau just may be the toughest tight end in this draft class. Not many people can stack the weight on seated low rows and get to rep 6 only to have the cable snap and have the equipment hit you in the mouth. Very few people would be ready to play a football game that Saturday after they see a puddle of blood with their teeth in it on the floor. That happened to Moreau in mid October of last year right before LSU beat Georgia. He said he never had the thought of not playing cross his mind. That is the kind of seriousness Moreau brings to his craft. He is not known for being a receiving threat rather his calling card is his physical blocking but make no mistake despite not having much flash Moreau is a leader. He takes that seriously as well and was a stalwart for LSU not only on the field but as a player who faced the media week in and week out. He knows how to motivate and get the most out of his teammates and is constantly trying to improve the way he leads. It a balance between setting an example and oration according to him. Described by his coaches as smart, mature, hard working, and charismatic Moreau knows he can carve out as big a role as he is willing to work for in the NFL. What’s my opinion? He’s a 10 year player in the NFL, maybe longer, he’ll be a team captain, and a core part of the team’s identity that he joins which will exude hard work and toughness. StrengthsGood size, toughness Dwayne Haskins Redskins Jersey , and strength for the position.Above average as a blocker at the position. Shows decent quickness to get to his assignment. Has good functional strength and technique to maintain leverage and control against his opponent. Good weight distribution and rarely whiffs. Not used much in the pass game but hands appear reliable and strong. Displays good physicality and toughness after the catch and ways fights for the extra yard. Hailed as and takes pride in being a leader. Has the potential to become the “heart” of a team.WeaknessesAthletic ability and speed are below average. He is not going to get much separation on routes and unless he is close to not being covered he’s not going to get you many catches over 15 yards.Runs simple out routes and hitches route running could improve in general. It could also improve a great deal if given the opportunity to run more advanced routes.Not very versatile and will likely be limited to being a key blocker as an inline tight end. No one is going to be fooled if he’s split out wide or lines up in the slot or as an h back. Let’s see his work:More Foster Moreau videosHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsThe Redskins have suffered from lackluster blocking at the tight end position for years. They have made an effort to improve it the past few seasons by bringing in Vernon Davis and drafting Jeremy Sprinkle. I doubt Vernon Davis will be brought back and its time the Redskins overhaul the position. Sprinkle is a decent blocker but he is not known for moving men in the run game. This is where a late round pick spent on a guy like Moreau would help the team. There has been some speculation that new offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell will simplify play calling and take over the run game as well. Perhaps O’Connell will feature more power runs where a blocking tight end has more value. This could especially be useful in goal line situations where the Redskins have a bad habit of being too predictable ironically by running a spread offense. This would not only play to the strengths of Moreau but also help the Redskins achieve that physical smash mouth style of football they originally set out to play in 2015. Moreau could also be a short yardage security blanket in the passing game. I don’t think his receiving skills are some gem waiting to be uncovered but I do think he can be more effective when given more opportunities. Lastly, don’t be quick to overlook the value a tough guy like Moreau can bring to a team and how that can shape player attitudes and team identity. Moreau may never blow anyone away with his receiving totals his entire NFL career but he could be a big part of shaping a winning team by being an unsung hero of sorts by doing the dirty work. it’s time for teams to publish their unofficial depth charts. Which also means it’s time for coaches to complain about publishing their unofficial depth charts.“Yeah, it’s early and I was forced to make it,” Washington coach Jay Gruden said regarding his team’s first depth chart, which lists Colt McCoy as the first-string quarterback. “I wouldn’t have made a depth chart right now; there’s no reason to, it’s silly. That’s for the media and for me to come up and answer these questions, but really that’s all it is. It’s words on a piece of paper https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-dwayne-haskins-jersey , names on a piece of paper and an order that means nothing at this point.”Well, it means something at this poin. Unless the depth chart is randomly generated, it’s a snapshot of how the coach views his roster as the first exhibition game looms.At least Gruden admits that he made the depth chart. Plenty of teams simply delegate the task to the P.R. department, allowing the coach to sneer at the configuration of players as the product of people who don’t really know what’s going on.Far less meaningless will be the manner in which Gruden uses his quarterbacks during the preseason, from when guys play to how long they play to whether they even play, much will be revealed over the next few weeks as to the manner in which Gruden regards the men who play the most important position on the roster.

SANTA CLARA Bo Jackson Jersey White , Calif. (AP) — When Kyle Shanahan was looking to get into the NFL as an assistant coach more than a decade ago, his father, Mike, called Jon Gruden and asked him to hire his son for an entry-level job in Tampa.Shanahan joined the Buccaneers as a quality control coach in 2004 on Gruden’s staff and got his introduction to pro football on a staff that featured five assistants who have gone on to get head coaching jobs in the NFL.“It was such a good place for me to go to because Jon was doing everything,” Shanahan said. “It wasn’t just his stuff. He was always on top of it with the film, which everyone is now because of the computers and everything, but he was one of the first guys doing that stuff, probably being a little bit younger than most guys at that time and just introduced me to pretty much every play known to man.”Now 14 years later, Shanahan gets his first chance to coach against his old boss when the San Francisco 49ers (1-7) host Gruden and the Oakland Raiders (1-6) on Thursday night.Gruden said he took great pride in that staff that featured Mike Tomlin, Rod Marinelli https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-carr-jersey , Jay Gruden and Raheem Morris during Shanahan’s two seasons there in 2004-05. The Bucs won just five games the first season before winning the NFC South with an 11-5 record in 2005.“We had a lot of fun back in those days. The woodshed, I called it,” Gruden said. “People are going to take me to the woodshed here pretty soon, if we don’t get this thing going.”Both the Raiders and 49ers are struggling heading into this matchup, with Oakland losing three straight and San Francisco on a six-game skid.Shanahan has struggled without starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, while Gruden’s return to the NFL has been rocky after nine seasons as a broadcaster at ESPN.But Shanahan believes Gruden will turn the Raiders around if given time and sees no signs that the game has passed him by.“Jon lives and dies football,” Shanahan said. “He never got away from it. He probably had even more time to sit and look at everything, and not get so caught up in his own team. The whole league’s evolved since then. It evolves year to year. But, you watch his system, he has a foundation of what he used to do and things like that Derek Carr Jersey White , but he’s kept up with everything.”Here are some other things to watch:BEATHARD’S HEALTHThe 49ers could be forced to go with their third-string quarterback this week. Garoppolo went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 3 and backup C.J. Beathard is questionable this week with an injured right wrist. The next man up is Nick Mullens, who has never taken a snap in the NFL. Mullens spent last season on the practice squad and was promoted after Garoppolo’s injury this year. He has impressed his teammates with strong play in the preseason and practice.“He’s a baller,” running back Matt Breida said. “He doesn’t let the game get too big for him. I think he’ll do a great job if he has to play this week.”DRIVE THE CARRRaiders quarterback Derek Carr is coming off perhaps his best game of the season, throwing for three touchdowns and running for a fourth score in last week’s loss to the Colts. Carr completed 17 straight passes at one point and thrived in his first game after leading rusher Marshawn Lynch went down with a groin injury and No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper was traded to Dallas. Receiver Brandon LaFell, who wasn’t targeted at all in his previous two games for Oakland, had three catches for 39 yards and a TD after getting the start in place of Cooper.“He’s friendly to the quarterback,” Carr said. “He always runs friendly routes. He can play with anybody. I’m glad that we had some time to work and all those things, but he’s the kind of guy that you can just throw him in and just play.”SAFETY DANCEThe Niners go into this game thin at safety. Starting free safety Adrian Colbert is on injured reserve with an ankle injury and San Francisco could be without its top two strong safeties as well. Starter Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) and backup Antone Exum (concussion) are out this week. Jimmie Ward fared well last week at free safety after moving over from cornerback. San Francisco is thinner at strong safety with Tyvis Powell, who has never started a game, and rookie Marcell Harris Antonio Brown Raiders Jersey , who could be activated from IR to make his debut, the main options.DYING RIVALRYThis will be the final scheduled meeting between these Bay Area rivals before the Raiders move to Las Vegas in 2020. The teams have rarely been successful in their 36 seasons as NFL neighbors here with both making the playoffs in the same year only four times in that span (1970, ’72, 2001, ’02). The teams have combined for a winning record just once in 2003 and are on pace for the worst record for a two-team market since the 1970 merger.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS (7-9)New faces: QB Alex Smith Womens Bryce Love Jersey , RB Adrian Peterson, WR Paul Richardson, DT Daron Payne, DT Tim Settle, OLB Pernell McPhee, CB Adonis Alexander.Key losses: QB Kirk Cousins, WR Terrelle Pryor, WR Ryan Grant, TE Niles Paul, DL Terrell McClain, LB Will Compton, CB Bashaud Breeland https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-terry-mclaurin-jersey , S DeAngelo Hall.Strengths: Smith gives Redskins stability at most important position under QB guru coach Jay Gruden. Peterson has potential to boost running game after season-ending injury to rookie Derrius Guice. Richardson gives Smith speed at wideout that Cousins lacked last season. Offensive line has five starters back with LT Trent Williams returning from major knee surgery. DL Jonathan Allen should improve run defense after missing most of rookie year.Weaknesses: Injury woes that derailed last season continue to deplete depth. Running game and overall defense no sure things after 2017 struggles. If Peterson doesn’t have much left at 33, Rob Kelley and Samaje Perine are same RBs who couldn’t establish consistent presence last season. Gruden has lost all four season openers since becoming coach. Secondary is untested beyond CB Josh Norman and S D.J. Swearinger.Fantasy Players To Watch: TE Jordan Reed. After undergoing two toe surgeries, Reed could be back to 2015 form, when he had 87 catches for 952 yards and 11 TDs. Gruden’s offense is predicated on spreading ball around, but 6-foot-2, 245-pound Reed is matchup nightmare who could become popular target for Smith.Vegas Says: Super Bowl 90-1. Over/Under wins 7 .Expectations: If everything goes perfectly, Redskins can challenge for NFC East title and make playoffs. More likely they’re again fringe playoff team and can finish anywhere from 6-10 to 10-6. Difficult schedule on paper makes start at Arizona and against Indianapolis crucial. Guice’s injury puts pressure on Smith and Peterson to carry offense in their 30s. ith Payne and healthy Allen and young secondary overperforms, this is playoff-caliber team. Questions remain about Smith and first-team offense being able to jell after limited preseason work. Another rash of injuries like last year could derail season. Drop-off in performance absent injuries could put Gruden’s job in danger. Washington still doesn’t know Alex Smith‘s football future. Case Keenum and Colt McCoy are signed only through 2019. So the team is looking at its long-term situation at the position.That could entail drafting a quarterback.Missouri quarterback Drew Lock visited the team’s facility Wednesday. Duke’s Daniel Jones will follow next week, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.Washington also has scouted Dwayne Haskins, sending a contingent of coaches and executives to Ohio State’s Pro Day last month. Team president Bruce Allen and coach Jay Gruden were among those who made the trip to Columbus.“You can’t reach for the quarterback of the future,” Gruden said last week. “He has to be the right fit and has to fit what you think that quarterback is. If we don’t feel like as an organization this guy fits that criteria then we can’t reach and take him just because he’s a quarterback.”

A decision is expected this week in the grievance filed by Raiders receiver Antonio Brown over the league’s refusal to let him wear a helmet that is too old to be recertified for 2019 — and that Schutt no longer manufactures. If/when (when) Brown loses Womens JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , what happens next?In a rational world, Brown would select a new model and show up for practices and games. But there’s little rational about Brown’s behavior in recent months, and it’s hard to imagine him quietly accepting whatever decision is made by a neutral, independent arbitrator.Brown could go to court, presumably, in a last-ditch, longshot effort to supersede the collectively-bargained procedures for dealing with such disputes. He could make an appeal to the Commissioner. Brown also could offer to sign whatever waiver he’d need to sign to be allowed to wear the outdated helmet.None of those options are likely to work. Currently Womens T. J. Watt Jersey , the league’s obsession with player health is less about managing liability than it is about maintaining a future supply of football players. The mere act of devoting millions to identifying the safest possible helmets sends a clear message to parents that the NFL cares about brains. And the insistence on wearing the safest possible helmets helps to minimize, in theory, situations in which significant head trauma may occur.If a high-profile player like Brown signs a waiver, wears the outdated helmet, and suffers a serious concussion, moms and dads won’t say, “Well JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey White , he signed a waiver.” They’ll be more likely to tell their kids, “No football for you.”That’s why the league can’t, and won’t, bend on this. If Brown is permitted to sign a waiver, other players would have to be permitted to sign waivers, too, both now and in the future https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-juju-smith-schuster-jersey , as currently acceptable helmets are made obsolete by better models.So, at some point, Brown will have to decide whether to play in a new helmet or to not play at all. He has more than 30 million reasons to pick a helmet, any helmet, and to show up for work. Someone needs to get him to understand that before pride, ego, and vanity derail his career. 22 yardsOf course everybody is going to talk about this play. But it was so important! After Ben Roethlisberger gets the wind knocked out of him Womens James Conner Jersey , Josh Dobbs comes in with 12:39 left in the game on 2nd & 20 on his own 5 yard line and throws a 22 yards strike to JuJu Smith-Schuster. It was a key play on a scoring drive. I think just about everyone watching this game assumed it was going to be a run or a short pass. But Dobbs stood poised in the pocket and fired the ball into a tight window. What a great first NFL regular-season completion!51 yardsTwo plays later, Ben Roethlisberger hit Jessie James on a 51-yard catch and run to put the Steelers in field-goal range. It was the largest gain given up by the Ravens defense this season.10/16; 1/1The Steelers converted 10 third downs in Baltimore on Sunday. Ten. In Week 4, the Steelers only had two third-down conversions against the Ravens. Additionally, the Steelers held Baltimore to 4/12 on third down. To top it all off, the Steelers converted their only fourth-down attempt of the game.12:58 against the Ravens. While possessing the ball 36:29 to the Ravens 23:31, the Steelers held the ball for almost an entire quarter more than Baltimore. This nearly 13-minute advantage was huge for keeping the Steelers defense off of the field and rested.31 yardsThe Ryan Switzer kick-return of 31 yards to set up the Steelers’ first touchdown drive at the 39 yard line was a big play in the game. The Steelers had just held the Ravens to a field goal inside the red zone. The added field position helped the Black-and-gold greatly in taking the lead for good.14-6Holding the lead at halftime has been very important for the Steelers when traveling to Baltimore. As I reported before the game, last season was the first time in more than 14 years where the Steelers held the lead at halftime in Baltimore. Both times T. J. Watt Jersey White , these leads have resulted in wins. 0Head Coach Mike Tomlin reported no significant injuries coming out of the game on Sunday. It’s very rare for no players to be seriously banged up after playing Baltimore. With the next game being a quick turnaround on Thursday at home against the Panthers, not having significant injuries will greatly help in the preparation for Week 10.
