out of the bye week where they did not score a touchdown in the first quarter. In those 10 seasons Pittsburgh Steelers Hoodie , the Steelers have scored a total of six points on two field goals in two separate games. It should also be noted that the Steelers went on to win seven out of those 10 games. Although they start slow, the Steelers still have a very solid record coming out to bye under Coach Tomlin, improving to 8-4 after the win against Cleveland.81-47Over the last 10 seasons, the Steelers outscored their opponents 81 –47 in the second quarter of each game coming off a bye during the regular season. So even though they have started slow, the Steelers, as a whole, have “picked it up” before the half following their bye week. Outscoring the Browns 14–0 in the second quarter on Sunday definitely helped to increase this total.489Of a possible 493 defensive snaps this season, Sean Davis has logged 489. Other than missing four snaps against the Bengals in Week 6 Customized Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys , Davis has played every snap on defense in every other game. Against the Browns, Davis was the only player to play every snap on the defensive side of the ball. After him, Terrell Edmunds and Joe Hayden played 62/64 snaps. In all, 19 different players logged snaps this past Sunday on defense.4-17Jaylen Samuels was given his first regular-season rushing attempts of his career against the Browns. He logged 4 carries for 17 yards on seven plays. It is the first time since Week 2 (Stevan Ridley with 3 carries for 18 yards) where a Pittsburgh Steelers’ running back other than James Conner has hit double-digits yards this season. 8 and 9By both James Conner and Antonio Brown finding the end zone twice on Sunday against the Browns, they extended their team lead for rushing and receiving TDs. After seven games, Antonio Brown is leading the Steelers in receiving touchdowns with eight, while James Conner has nine rushing scores. Brown’s total is currently leading the NFL in receiving touchdowns. Conner is second in rushing TDs only behind Todd Gurley with 11 (who has also played one more game).21-37On the Steelers current three-game win streak, one driving factor behind their victories has been their third down conversion rate. Over this time www.steelersauthorizedshops.com , the Steelers are 21 for 37 on third down giving them a 56.7% rate of conversion. This week against Cleveland, the Steelers’s also added a fourth down conversion for a touchdown.175:44For anyone keeping track, Chris Boswell has not missed a kick in almost 180 minutes of game play. Boswell was a perfect 4/4 on PAT‘s while adding a 42-yard field goal.Predicting the Steelers’ Week 3 inactive list vs. the Buccaneers It’s a sad weekend for the Steelers when my highlight is correctly choosing the inactive list. I’d rather be 0/7 and get the W, but I’ll give it a shot anyway. Game StatusDoubtful:OT Marcus Gilbert(Hamstring)G David DeCastro (Hand)S Morgan Burnett (Groin)Here are the possibilities to end up inactive for Week 3:Definitely:Once again, nobody has been officially ruled out for Monday night. Most Likely:QB Mason Rudolph- it’s tempting to move Rudolph to the definitely category. It is hopeful he will move into the backup role eventually, but it may not be in 2018.G David DeCastro- failing to practice either last week or this week, it would be quite the surprise if DeCastro was active. S Morgan Burnett- his weekly progress was in the wrong direction after practicing in a limited fashion on Thursday. As a nonparticipant the final two days, Burnett is probably sitting this one out.DT L.T. Walton- after getting a helmet last week with Alualu being out with an injury Pittsburgh Steelers Womens T-Shirt , Walton is likely to return to his “odd man out” role.WR Justin Hunter- many people were surprised about Hunter being inactive this early in the season. It was only a matter of time until Washington was getting his reps and the transition occurred last week.Possibly:OT Marcus Gilbert or Zach Banner- although Gilbert is doubtful, he did at least practice in a limited fashion on Saturday. It will be a game-time decision whether he will play or Banner will dress for added depth.S Marcus Allen, Nat Berhe, or CB Cam Sutton- this is a tough call. Allen has not been active yet this season, but with Burnett possibly missing the game he could have the opportunity. Berhe has had little impact on special teams so he could get bumped instead. It was Coty Sensabaugh as the CB who didn’t dress week 1 when all were healthy, but he reportedly could get the start instead of Artie Burns. So does Sutton not even get a helmet after starting last week or do they go with one less safety?Unlikely:G Ramon Foster- he was on the injury report early in the week with a knee injury but did not miss any practice time.DT Tyson Alualu- after missing the last game he was full every practice this week.DT Stephon Tuitt- he was sick on Friday but returned fully on Saturday and is not listed on the injury report.Projected Inactive List:Mason Rudolph David DeCastro Morgan Burnett L.T. WaltonJustin Hunter Marcus AllenMarcus Gilbert Once again, I have all players listed as doubtful not playing. The tough call was Marcus Allen over any CB. Ultimately I believe the Steelers can go with only four safeties with Cam Sutton being able to fill in if needed. I also think the Steelers would cut Berhe and promote either Brian Allen or Keon Adams from the practice squad if they were not going to have him active.
