Steelers WR Sammie Coates has a left hand injury and is Questionable to return

Blount was a Steeler for a couple months in 2014, walked off the field early and got cut twitter.com/NoraPrinciotti…

LeGarrette Blount gets some boos from Heinz Field crowd!

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 8:38:15 PM
That was Malcolm Butler's first INT of the season

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:37:19 PM
Malcolm Butler intercepts Landry Jones in the end zone on a ball intended for Antonio Brown. Horribly underthrown. Single coverage

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:36:00 PM
Ruling stands. Hogan's fumble forced and recovered by Jarvis Jones. Steelers get ball at 45.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 8:32:40 PM
Ruling on the field stands. Steelers' ball on the Patriots' 45

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:32:23 PM
Fumble looks close, but don't think this gets overturned. Not conclusive

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:31:40 PM
Belichick back to using the ol' pen and paper today

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:31:12 PM
A hearty round of boos for the Patriots' offense as it takes the field. Bennett, Gronk, Hogan, Edelman and Blount are Brady's weapons

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:29:35 PM
Logan Ryan enters for the second play. Looks like Rowe will have a big role today however

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:27:50 PM
Eric Rowe gets the start today as CB2 over Logan Ryan. Jamie Collins is starting

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:26:47 PM
Fitzgerald Toussaint kneels for the touchback, Steelers will start first drive from the 25.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 8:26:40 PM
#Steelers won the toss and chose to receive.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 8:24:04 PM
Patriots call heads, coin comes up tails. Steelers choose to receive, not defer. Patriots are 2-9 on coin tosses this year (incl preseason)

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:23:58 PM
It's "Regression to the Mean Day" in the AFC East. Jets improve to 2-5, Dolphins improve to 3-4, Bills drop to 4-3, face Patriots next week

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:21:34 PM
Darren Rizzi's head is going to explode again

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:14:10 PM
Brady warming up.

QB fist bump.

Rachel G Bowers, Producer 10/23/2016 8:08:19 PM
Brady and Garoppolo head out for warmups.

Rachel G Bowers, Producer 10/23/2016 8:07:25 PM
Very little pink gear being worn by both the Patriots and Steelers players today. Good move. Pink gear rings hollow in light of Josh Brown

Jamie Collins, Brandon Bolden both active. Cyrus Jones still inactive, along with Hamilton, Valentine, Derby, Foster, Waddle, Richards.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 6:59:18 PM
Yes, Cyrus Jones is a CB, not a LB. Sorry for the mistake. Shea McClellin back after missing 2 games with a concussion

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 6:59:06 PM
That means Collins, Eric Rowe, Jonathan Coleman, Elandon Roberts and Shea McClellin are all ACTIVE today

AJ Derby, DJ Foster, LaAdrian Waddle, Jordan Richards, Cyrus Jones, Vincent Valentine and Woodrow Hamilton are the Patriots' inactives

Never knew Antonio Brown's behavior was an issue for the Steelers. Interesting, insightful column from @RonCookPG post-gazette.com/sports/ron-coo…

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 6:46:21 PM
You know what they say -- when you've got six quarterbacks, you've really got none #Browns

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 6:43:10 PM
What a beautiful day for football in Pittsburgh http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CveQgIdXEAABttO.jpg

The success rate of the Hail Mary the last couple of years is insane. AJ Green snags another one
