| h to the Pittsburgh Steelers: It's easier to get to the Super Bowl by winning two games rather than three. On a short week with no real practice following a tough loss, the Steelers were determined not to get distracted and lose to the poor-record Carolina Panthers. Do that, and they might be adding an extra work week to their playoff schedule. ``It was huge for us,'' nose tackle Casey Hampton said following Pittsburgh's businesslike 27-3 victory on Thursday night. ``If you get a bye, it gets you closer to t |

Roethlisberger passed for 320 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another score, and Pittsburgh rolled to a 27-3 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Thursday in a game between teams on opposite ends of the NFL spectrum. Roethlisberger completed 22 of his 32 passes, including a 43-yard touchdown throw to Mike Wallace in the second quarter. Wallace had four catches for 104 yards and Rashard Men |

| (MySportsbook) - The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to the playoffs despite having lost their last game, while the Carolina Panthers own the league's worst record yet are coming off a rare win in their most recent outing. That's just the way it's been during this unpredictable NFL season. The Steelers will be out to restore a sense of normalcy when the AFC North co- leaders welcome the lowly Panthers to Heinz Field this Thursday for a Week 16 battle between teams currently residing on opposite ends of the foot |

That's one player less than the woebegone Carolina Panthers placed on the NFC list for the Jan. 30 all-star game, which for the second straight year will take place one week prior to the Super Bowl. After overcoming the initial shock of those revelations, I attempted to state a case for a spot of some of Bra |

No, that must wait, but possibly not for long. If the Steelers (10-4) beat the Carolina Panthers (2-12) on Thursday night and the Browns (5-9) on Jan. 2, they'll win the AFC North and be seeded No. 2 in the playoffs - no matter what Baltimore (10-4) does against the Browns and Bengals (3-11). That's all the incentive the Steelers need to play |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Carolina Panthers will be without Tony Fiammetta for Thursday's game at Pittsburgh because of an ankle injury and have promoted fellow fullback Rashawn Jackson from the practice squad to fill his role. Cornerback Chris Gamble is doubtful with an ankle injury after missing practice on Wednesday, meaning Captain Munnerlyn will likely start his fifth straight game. Defensive end Tyler Brayton practiced despite a sore hip and is questionable. Jackson is an undrafted rookie from Virg |

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping a short week leads to a long layoff. The Steelers (10-4) practiced Tuesday, normally their day off, during their lone day of on-field preparation before Thursday night's game against the Carolina Panthers (2-12). Normally, NFL players don't welcome games that follow only three days of rest, especially after a game as physical and tense as their 22-17 loss to the Jets on Sunday. ``Some weeks, on Thursday, I don't know how I'm going to play on Sunday,'' |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The frustration boiled over a day after the Halloween nightmare in which the Carolina Panthers' once-vaunted running game managed 25 yards against St. Louis and plummeted to 28th in the league. A running back answered a question from a reporter with one of his own, asking, ``Did you see any holes?'' While it's too late to salvage a lousy season, the running lanes look big these days and the gaudy ground numbers have returned. Jonathan Stewart rushed for 137 yards in the Panthers' |
