In Non-Steelers News (hoping that's still allowed here!), the Houston Texans won their sixth game in a row - and in dramatic fashion, when the Broncos kicker missed a game-winning field goal as time expired.

It should have only been a game-tying field goal, but we missed an extra point earlier in the game.

Are the Houston Texans a team of destiny? It's kind of shaping up that way!

I'm not saying that Deshaun Watson is the best quarterback in the NFL, but I'm not saying he isn't, either. His footwork is beyond outstanding. Watch him drop back a few times - you'll see what I mean.

Go Texans!

A little salty Rodeo? LMAO Well if you want to shut Steelers fans up your team has to get in the dance and do something about it.

Hey phunkdaddy, has Bell ever had a 100 yard game against the Ravens??? I don't think he has. Conner had 107 yards against them Sunday.

The only thing in your favor is that the game is not being played in New Orleans. Steelers also has a tough game against the 2nd best team in the NFC South, the Panthers. Defense better watch out for Cam.

Pressure Tom Brady . . . How hard is that.

After nearly 2 decades of regular season dominance, 8 Super Bowls, and 5 Lombardis . . . I'd say it's pretty dang hard.

Teams that have had success on that front in have had deep defensive lines with pass rushers from 9 gap to 9 gap.

The Jints, the Iggles, the Broncos were all able to do that and beat him in January and February.

That's hard to build.

Yes Bell did. He had 144 yards rushing last season in the win at Baltimore. The return matchup in Pittsburgh he only had 48 but had 9 catches for 77 yards. Bell is a beast in the receiving game. It's unfortunate Bell and the Steelers have reached a stalemate in contract negotiations but Bell hasn't done himself any favors with non communication and now the season Conner is having and endearing himself to fans and teammates. Bell has more than likely wrote himself a ticket out of Pittsburgh.

Everything Bell has done has hurt him with trades next year. There will be interest in him but the diva and drama he brings will not bring the big bucks he wants. In the end the Steeler deal would have been his best option

Exactly.....get pressure on Brady with your front four in the fourth quarter and you have a chance.

Last night, Green Bay had the momentum on their side (despite some horrible calls). I felt they were on their way to a TD, then the kid fumbled. You can't do that shit against NE......like I said, 60 minutes of clean football.

Chiefs better get home field, and even that's no guarantee. I don't like the defense, and Brady has shown he can beat the opposition anywhere with or without Gronk.

If I was Sean Payton, I'd give Michael Thomas a big fine for that Joe Horn bullshit. Imagine if that was a playoff game and he gets a 15-yard penalty?

After that disaster against Miami, the seat got hotter for Todd Bowles.

Goff still best QB. Burfict will inflict pain.

He's not there yet.

Week 10 picks

Steelers over the Panthers (Steelers Defense needs to stop Cam)

Saints over the Bungals (It will be a Brees over the Bungals)

Falcons over the Browns (Still not sold on the Falcons)

Bears over the Lions (Da Bears, it never gets old after all these years)

Chiefs over the Cardinals (Do I need to add anything)

Patriots over the Titans (no winning streak for the Titans)

Buccaners over the Redskins (I believe in magic plus the Redskins are without a lot of players)

Jets over the Bills (AFC East, the most boring division in the NFL)

Colts over the Jaguars (Going with the home team)

Chargers over the Raiders (and still people in LA wished the Raiders moved to LA instead of the Chargers)

Rams over the Seahawks (toss up)

Packers over the Dolphins (not much to say about this one)

Eagles over the Cowboys (one of these teams will win the NFC East and lose in the first round)

49er's over the Giants (This was a good game in the 90's)

Bye Ravens/Broncos/Texans/Vikings
