IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The parents of hospitalized former Iowa football star Brett Greenwood say he continues to fight and make improvements after collapsing during a workout earlier this month. Greenwood, who was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers in early September, returned home and collapsed while working out at Pleasant Valley High in Bettendorf on Sept. 9. He was later transferred to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. Michele and Dave Greenwood released a statement through the Uni |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said after Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers that he expected his offense to struggle early on. That still isn't likely to sooth the panic in the Emerald City. Just 20 games into his Seattle coaching career, Carroll has struggled to find consistency since returning to the pro level. While he was certainly able to handle the continuing roster turnover that is part of the college game, the former USC sideline general is quickly redi |

It was a big letdown by the Ravens after their 35-7 rout of the defending AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers to open the season. Baltimore coach John Harbaugh credited the Titans with beating the Ravens every way a team can. ``I don't have any theory right now,'' Harbaugh said. ``Everybody's going to have a theory, and none of them are going to be right. |

Roethlisberger completed 22-of-30 passes for 298 yards and a touchdown and played mistake-free after accounting for five of the Steelers' seven turnovers in a 35-7 drubbing against the Ravens last Sunday. "It's not going to take one performance to get that stench off us," Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said. Mike Wallace caught eight passes for 126 |

The Seattle Seahawks didn't open defense of their NFC West title much better. A humbled Pittsburgh club will try to get on track and win its ninth straight home opener when it welcomes Seattle to Heinz Field this Sunday.

That leaves Munchak and the new staff to figure out how to solve a Ravens defense that forced a franchise-record seven turnovers in a dominating Week 1 win over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Baltimore, which was eliminated in last year's postseason by Pittsburgh, got a small amount of revenge with a 35-7 victory over its fellow AFC North member. The defense intercepted Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger three times and also forced |

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Antonio Brown didn't need to verbalize the answer. It was written all over his face. When asked if his eyes light up knowing, as the Pittsburgh Steelers' return man, he'll face a team on Sunday that allowed a kickoff and a punt return for touchdowns last week, his eyes, well, simply lit up. ``Definitely, man,'' Brown said. Indeed, it's tough to not notice that the Seattle Seahawks watched San Francisco's Ted Ginn take two returns for scores in the final four minutes of a 33-17 loss at Sa |

RENTON, Wash. (AP) - It doesn't take a scout's eye to see the similarities between Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas and the Pittsburgh Steelers' Troy Polamalu. Both are just shy of six-feet tall, each an eyelash over 200 pounds and lightning quick. Both were selected in the top 20 of the NFL draft and both have played under Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. For someone who has coached both players, Thomas with the Seahawks and Polamalu at USC, the comparison between the two is an easy one to make.Copyrig |

| Pittsburgh, PA (MySportsbook) - Pittsburgh Steelers starting offensive tackle Willie Colon had surgery Tuesday morning to repair a torn triceps muscle. Colon will miss "an extended period of time to say the least," Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said. Colon was injured late in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He signed a five-year, $29 million contract after the lockout and had been a key member of what is quickly becoming a patchwork offensive line protecting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Before |
