00:00Well, the Steelers did it.
00:01They got revenge on the Browns after the snow game.
00:05They got them in Pittsburgh, and they owned them all day.
00:0827-14, and Russ was doing his magic again.
00:12A couple of tutties.
00:14A pedestrian game for him.
00:15He didn't put up huge numbers, but no picks.
00:19Got sacked once, and they dominated the game.
00:23It was easy work, and now they have 10 wins.
00:26They do now have 10 wins.
00:28They go to 10-3 on the season, and as you mentioned,
00:31maybe not the biggest numbers for Russ.
00:33Only had $1.58.
00:34Now, let's also remember, he was missing his best target.
00:38Pickens didn't play.
00:40Was, of course, a late scratch.
00:41They held him out.
00:42They wanted to be cautious with the hamstring injury
00:44that he picked up, which I think is a smart move,
00:47because they were able to take care of business without him.
00:4927-14.
00:51I figured we'd play this one,
00:52because this went to the window for us.
00:54We had Fryermuth on Friday as one of our tutty picks,
00:58and sure enough, Russ finds him on a 20-yard strike
01:00here on CBS.
01:02With the guy who's done that for us.
01:04Second and 10.
01:06Down the middle.
01:07He's got him!
01:08It's Fryermuth for the touchdown!
01:11Moves!
01:14He likes throwing to him.
01:16The guy's become a huge part of the offense now.
01:19Should have been the last couple of years.
01:21Now he is, and he's scoring touchdowns,
01:23and he paid off for us, and he keeps coming up big,
01:27and Russ likes throwing to him, and it's smart.
01:29And the other guy, I like Washington, too.
01:31Enormous guy, 300-pounder.
01:34He'll run right over you and smash you in the head.
01:36So I like all of their receivers, but no pickings.
01:39They still get the win in, you know,
01:43dramatic, beautiful weather.
01:45Think about it.
01:46It was like 46 degrees yesterday.
01:48Perfect in Pittsburgh.
01:49You'd think it'd be a lot colder and miserable,
01:51but it was a beautiful day, and they got it done,
01:54and they had to.
01:55And now they're tied with the Bills.
01:57For me, that was huge.
01:59That is huge, and they have a full two-game lead
02:04on the Ravens, which is really 2 1⁄2
02:06because they beat them once already.
02:08So, you know, they're sitting there now,
02:1010-3, Ravens 8-5, and they do play them next week.
02:13Now, this is a tough stretch for the Steelers.
02:16At Philly, at Baltimore, home for the Chiefs,
02:20and then, of course, finishing with the Bengals at home.
02:22So, road, road, home, home with three playoff opponents
02:26the next couple weeks.
02:28Steelers got, I think, Scotty, two out of three
02:32if they do want to get that two-spot with the Bills
02:35because I think the Bills could lose again this week.
02:37That's going to be a very hard game for them
02:38in Detroit against the Lions.
02:40Well, we'll find out what the Steelers are made of
02:42when they go to the link.
02:43They're going to play a team that's, I think,
02:45one of the best in the NFL,
02:47and it'll show them who they really are
02:49if they can play well against the Eagles
02:51or beat the Eagles.
02:52That would be crazy.
02:54I don't really like their chances at the link.
02:56I think the Eagles are a notch above the Steelers.
03:00I think they're going to play the Lions
03:01in the NFC Championship, but it'll be a good test.
03:04And then, Baltimore in the Charmed City,
03:08and then having the Chiefs on Christmas Day is crazy.
03:10So, those are enormous games for them,
03:13and we're going to find out how good they really are
03:15in this three-game stretch.
03:18Of course, after a win,
03:19we always have to hear from Mike Tomlin on a Monday.
03:22Well, of course we do.
03:24Very proud of his team with the effort yesterday.
03:27Appreciative of the efforts in-game.
03:30It didn't start off the way we would like
03:32in terms of fluidity.
03:33We weren't converting third downs there early on,
03:36but the guys found their traction.
03:38I appreciate the defense providing some short fields
03:40and some splash in an effort to kind of get us going.
03:43It's a team game in that way.
03:45And then, obviously, the special teams
03:47with the splash play down the stretch
03:49to get us out of the stadium.
03:50And that's what teams do.
03:52They make plays in all three phases.
03:54They uplift one another.
03:56When a certain component of it
03:57isn't rolling as smoothly as you'd like.
04:00Thankful for the win.
04:01It's AFC North football,
04:04and we'll take it and keep moving.
04:06Let's go.
04:07Come on, let's go.
