Diontae Johnson didn’t even try to grab this loose ball.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are an unlikely playoff contender despite having a negative point-differential, and one of the worst passing offenses in the NFL. On Sunday in Week 12, the Steelers knocked out the Cincinnati Bengals, 16-10, with Jake Browning playing at QB for the injured Joe Burrow. The Steelers’ offense finally clicked, finishing with 421 total yards, the first time they’ve crossed 400 in 59 games.
The Steelers still can’t play a normal game even when they win.

The ‘SNF’ booth was missing Cris Collinsworth for the Baltimore Ravens’, 20-10, win over the Los Angeles Chargers and his replacement, Jason Garrett, was far from great.
The former Dallas Cowboys head coach was alongside Mike Tirico for the call because Collinsworth got the holiday weekend off after working last Thursday’s 49ers-Seahawks game.

There is nothing special about “The Patriot Way” anymore.
History has a tendency to romanticize the demise of legends. Take Harry Houdini: For years there were tall tales and legends about how the world’s greatest magician perished. Some said it happened on stage, as Houdini was finally unable to defy death in his Water Torture chamber. Others say he died in a flash, punched in the stomach by a fan who surprised him — taking Houdini at his word that blows to the abdomen wouldn’t hurt him.
Buckle up because Jon Gruden reportedly is a “big wildcard” in Indiana’s search for a new coach.
The Hoosiers fired Tom Allen Sunday, and will pay him $20 million in buyout cash to walk out the door and not return.
That means the search for the next coach in Bloomington and one VERY unexpected name is floating around:

Former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett wants to see Arch Manning in grey and scarlet.
Manning redshirted this season for the Texas Longhorns, and the former top overall recruit saw his first playing time of the season against Texas Tech.
The sample size was incredibly small, but the latest Manning QB definitely showed off some mobility and shiftiness.
Arch Manning Makes Texas Debut, Shows Off Impressive Mobility: HIGHLIGHTS
Maurice Clarett pitches transferring to Ohio State to Arch Manning.
Dana Holgorsen is probably regretting some old comments about his “impossible buyout.”
Houston fired Holgorsen after a 4-12 season. He leaves the Cougars with a 31-28 record and no major bowl wins. The former West Virginia coach had only two winning seasons with Houston. His entire tenure was a massive disappointment.
However, Holgorsen wasn’t worried about getting fired because he had a buyout of roughly $15 million. The now-fired Houston coach expected the substantial buyout to protect him.
The internet had plenty of jokes after Texas A&M hired Mike Elko as the new head coach of the Aggies.
It was reported over the weekend that the Aggies were nearing a deal with Kentucky coach Mark Stoops. However, that deal appeared to fall apart at the 11th hour.
The decision was then made to hire the Duke coach Sunday, and the Aggies have a new head coach after firing Jimbo Fisher.
A new era of football is underway in College Station.
Bills coach Sean McDermott is facing plenty of criticism for the decisions he made late in the fourth quarter of the Bills’ overtime loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Buffalo Bills player Shaq Lawson might be in serious trouble with the league.
The Eagles beat the Bills in overtime Sunday, and Buffalo is now sitting at an incredibly disappointing 6-6. The days of believing they could win the Super Bowl this season seem like a different lifetime ago.
Well, tensions and tempers definitely boiled over during the matchup. Multiple Bills players confronted a fan chirping them, and things went way too far.
The Buffalo Bills fell to 6-6 after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in overtime. Tempers flared, and Shaq Lawson shoved a fan.
Week 12 wasn’t exactly a banner Sunday of football—outside of the epic Eagles-Bills game. But there are still story lines to get too. Here are a few, in this week’s takeaways.
The Broncos’ defense is a key part of that team’s rebound. When people start paying attention to what Denver is doing, I’m sure a lot of it will focus on Sean Payton’s hard-driven turnaround plan. Or how Russell Wilson has reborn within it as a game-managing, chain-moving, point-guard of a quarterback. But leave Denver’s defense out of the equation, and you’ll miss the story entirely.
