I would actually like to see all non-scoring celebrations to be banned as a rule. : )

I thought Roosevelt Nix played really well considering what his job his. Forcing fumble on special teams, a couple of great blocks. Of course that is grossly marginal when one AB has 306 yards from scrimmage, while D-Will has 225 scrimmage yards plus two TDs and one 2-point conversion.
That's right, I forgot about the two point conversion.
Yes!!!
I wondered if anyone else saw that. DECLEATED!!!
That was great! Smith has 7 inches and nearly 60 pounds on Williams. Williams slammed him to the ground and moved on.
I can remember a few that said Bell had poor field vision when we drafted him. Guess you never know.

not often a RB records a pancake block
Villanueva should have smashed him while he was down...lol. Kemo would have killed him...

DeAngelo has a great game against San Francisco earlier in the season, and another one yesterday against Oakland...
Obviously he must be a homophobe. ��
Brown had the guady stats... and that YAC on the play that basically gave us back the win is more than deserving. The blemish was that fumbled punt... which I believe was the first time he was in there instead of Jacoby. Yikes.

Pittsburgh Steelers
– What an offensive performance by the Steelers’ main three skill position players. QB Ben Roethlisberger (+5.9) returned to his early-season form, although he’ll now miss a few more weeks with a foot injury. HB DeAngelo Williams (+4.1) showed that the Steelers don’t have to worry too much about losing starter LeVeon Bell, as he broke four tackles and finished with 176 yards (70 after contact) and two touchdowns. But it was WR Antonio Brown (+8.8) that stole the show. His overall grade was the highest we’ve ever recorded for a receiver at PFF. He caught 17-of-23 balls thrown to him for a ridiculous 284 yards. He wasn’t able to score a touchdown, but he was easily the biggest reason the Steelers won yesterday. For more about Brown’s big day, check out this article by Sam Monson.

– The Steelers’ defense did not play well for the most part yesterday. CB Antwon Blake (-6.5) and ILB Lawrence Timmons (-5.0) were the only players to grade negatively in coverage, and they were negative by a lot. Blake was targeted a team-high 15 times, and allowed nine receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown. But he was beaten on four of those incompletions, and was only saved by some off-target throws and a dropped pass. He also missed five tackles on the day. Timmons saw 11 targets, but only allowed five completions for 84 yards. However, on two of those incompletions, he was bailed out by a teammate knocking the ball out, and also a couple of dropped passes. Not a strong day for either of those two against a good Raiders’ passing offense.
– The Steelers’ offensive line play was not good yesterday, and the success of their offense was completely in spite of them. Roethlisberger was sacked once and hit another time, and it was the sack that ended up injuring him. But between him and QB Landry Jones (-0.3), they were pressured a ridiculous 18 times. Only G David DeCastro (+0.9) finished with a positive pass blocking grade, and as a unit, they finished with a -10.2 pass blocking grade. They were hardly better blocking the run, as they finished -6.8 overall there. C Cody Wallace (-7.7) finished with the team-low grade, thanks to poor performances in both run and pass blocking, as well as two false start penalties.
Top Performers:
WR Antonio Brown (+8.8)
QB Ben Roethlisberger (+5.9)
HB DeAngelo Williams (+4.1)
DE Cameron Heyward (+3.8)
OLB Arthur Moats (+1.3)
I haven't had a chance to watch the game yet. Hopefully later today I'll get around to it. Anyway reading this breakdown I have to wonder if maybe Ben deserves the game ball? The offensive line apparently didn't have a great game. To come back the second game off an injury and help put up that amount of points on the board with often spotty pass protection seems pretty impressive to me.
Also is it Profootballfocus or the Steelers coaching staff that has the disconnect on Antwon Blake? According to this he couldn't have been much worse. But since he made a "splash play" or two his job stays safe.
You shouldn't give up 35 points top the Raiders at home.Seems as if Blake had a huge hand in that final.

I'm not saying Blake was great, but statistics do not tell the story. I listed somewhere else the number of stops behind the line, or for short gains Blake also had, not to mention defended passes, a couple of which in key moments. Can we upgrade? Sure, but he's not the problem, either.
