It was a Pittsburgh Steeler day in the AFC North. The Steelers traveled to Cincinnati and beat a winning team while the Ravens found a way to lose to a terrible Seahawks team in Seattle. Toss in another Cleveland loss for good measure.

He’s even stopped posting a list of opponents who didn’t cover him the previous game. This…
On a day that saw snow and on a field of muck Fast Willie Parker showed why the Steelers’ running game had floundered over the last several games: He wasn’t there. Back from injuries but still nicked, Parker pounded out a tough 115 on 25 clock eating carries. He showed that extra burst that had been missing from the running game, even though his backup Mewelde Moore filled in admirably during Parker’s absence. Provided he…
