The new surface already is used by the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers in their stadiums. ``If it's anything like Philly's field, yeah, that's cool,'' Williams said. ``I like that field, that field felt pretty good.''

| (MySportsbook) - Derek Anderson is expected to receive his first NFL start on Thursday night, when the second-year quarterback leads the Cleveland Browns into Heinz Field to face the arch rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Anderson burst on the scene last Sunday, when he relieved an ailing Charlie Frye and led the Browns to an unlikely 31-28 come-from-behind overtime win against the Chiefs. The Oregon State product completed 12-of-21 passes for 171 yards with a pair of touchdown passes and one interception in a little |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't had a chance like this since they first played the Cleveland Browns 56 years ago. Finally, the Steelers can get even with the Browns. Even if their relatively insignificant Thursday night game in early December lacks the importance that normally befits a Rust Belt rivalry that has been meaningful and colorful since its inception in 1950. The Steelers have won five Super Bowls to the Browns' none. They've sent a roster full of players to the Pro Football Hall |

| Pittsburgh, PA (MySportsbook) - Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward will miss Thursday's home game against Cleveland as he still recovers from left knee surgery.

Also out are safety Troy Polamalu (knee), wide receiver Cedrick Wilson (ankle) and safety Ryan Clark (groin). |

The Pittsburgh Steelers are likely to be without four injured starters when they play host to Cleveland on Thursday night. The Browns are likely to be with Derek Anderson at quarterback. Who knows? He might give Cleveland the edge. Anderson is the obscure second-year guy from Oregon State who relieved the injured Charlie Frye and propelled the Browns to a 31-28 overtime victory over Kansas City with two touchdown passes and a 33-yard run on his size 17 feet that set up the winning field goal.

Gradkowski threw a career-high three interceptions and once again failed to effectively move Tampa Bay's stodgy offense in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's hard to pin the blame for this latest debacle on the Steel City native, who didn't receive a whole lot of support from teammates on his side of the ball. Running back Cadillac Williams, the supposed star of the offense, mustered just 27 yards |

Just four days removed from a monumental 27-0 wood-shedding of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens failed to answer the bell in the Queen City. McNair and company failed to move the ball into Bengals territory on seven of their first eight drives, and the one time they did draw close enough to get on the board during that stretch, jus |
