Although I agree with you, Musky, by the letter of the law, he was no longer a defenseless receiver when he took 2 steps and turned. The turning put the oness of the hit on the receiver.

Now Big Ben is hurt ... Hope this doesn't fire up the Bungles too much ....

I agree that he wasn't a defenseless receiver, but, I thought it was illegal to make a hit like that on anyone at any time?

A defenseless player or QB ... Running backs are not considered defenseless, and when he turned, he became a running back.

. John Madden once said, "All a prevent defense does is prevent you from winning." Agree!

This can get nasty with 3:42 left and Cincy on the Steeler 45.

I have been sick all day, and this 4th quarter isn't helping ... 142 yards in penalties against the Stillers ... Uggh! Step it up, guys ...

Seriously? They fine Williams for wearing "unauthorized" pink, then feature him wearing pink for cancer ... The NFL is messed up!

There is plenty of time and time outs ... Jones is decent ... There is still hope ... I was hoping for a turn over on the 2 pt conversion and the run back for the lead ....
