Why The Steelers Will Miss The Playoffs
1. The Steelers Will Miss The Playoffs
The Steelers are one of the most talented teams in the NFL, but despite this they are going to miss the playoffs.
They flat out blew it yesterday. Going into their game they controlled their own destiny, but now, after blowing an easy win against a bad Baltimore Ravens’ team, they not only have to win next Sunday, but they need the Jets to lose.
The Steelers were seen as one of the most dangerous teams in the AFC, but now they’ll be on the outside looking in.
Steelers’ fans everywhere will be questioning what if Ben Roethlisberger hadn’t gotten hurt? Would they have lost as many games? Who knows? Without Roethlisberger the Steelers were 3-1, so it’s not like they lost a majority of their games in his

Jordan Reed Is The NFL’s Second Best Tight End
Jordan Reed is an absolute stud. On Saturday, he finished with nine catches, 129 yards, and two touchdowns.
With Reed healthy, the Redskins offense is completely different than without him. They average more points, yards, and plays per game with Reed than without him. Kirk Cousins completes a higher percentage of passes with Reed, and his touchdown to interception ratio is positive with him on the field. Without Reed, Cousins’ touchdown to interception ratio is negative.
Reed has clearly established himself as the second best tight end, only behind Rob Gronkowski. Reed has a career high in catches (83), yards (907), and touchdowns (11).
Reed will be making his first career appearance in the playoffs this season, as the Redskins clinched the NFC East with their win on Saturday.

3. The Jeremy Langford Era In Chicago Has Officially Begun
The writing has been on the wall all season long, Matt Forte’s time in Chicago is coming to end, but on Sunday, it finally became a reality. For the first time since coming back from a mid-season injury, Jeremy Langford not only received more rushing attempts than Forte, but he played more snaps. He was on the field more than Forte, and as crazy as it sounds, the offense looked better with Langford out there. They moved the ball better, averaged more yards per play, and looked like a more efficient

    Ultimately, the Browns added a versatile defender who has recorded 43 tackles in seven games.

    The New England Patriots lost superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski to a season ending back injury in their Week 12 matchup with the New York Jets.

    Seriously? So the Quarterback's throwing shoulder hurting for the most part of the season, causing Winston to even miss a few games, is no reason for offensive struggles? Having one of the worst running games in the league combined with bad pass blocking is no reason for offensive struggles? Having the worst kicking game in NFL, which caused the Bucs to lose games, as well, is no reason for offensive struggles? This makes you believe that Jones simply did not do his researching job very well, at least not as far as the Buccaneers are…

    The offense will be fine without him Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden will shut the doubters up by the middle or end of the season. Dez Bryant will continue to show why he’s the best wide-receiver in the NFL, Jason Witten will display why he’s still an elite tight end, Cole Beasley will attest why he just can’t be stopped when being covered one on one by opposing teams, Terrence Williams showcasing how he will make defenses respect him more this season by asserting himself as one of the best big-play receivers, the offensive of line dominating, and punishing defensive lineman continuing the debate on why they’re the best offensive lineman in the NFL, and last but not least Tony Romo continuing to prove why he’s a top 5 quarterback. For the first time in two years he didn’t have to have surgery on his back and if you saw how he played in the dress rehearsal game on last Saturday night you could tell he was already in mid-season form ready to lead this team to a Super Bowl. But the best thing the Cowboys did this off-season was keeping the continuity within the team by resigning Jason Garrett, Rod Marinelli, and Scott Linehan to long-term contract…
