PITTSBURGH (AP) -Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Aaron Smith will miss the rest of the season with a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder, an injury that significantly weakens what was the NFL's best defense the last two seasons.

To replace Smith on their 53-man roster, the Steelers re-signed Ra'Shon ``Sunny'' Harris, a sixth-round draft pick th |

Schwartz's team went into the halftime break down just 21-13, with a pick-six from cornerback William James off of Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger adding the greatest value, and battled to within 28-20 when fill-in quarterback Daunte Culp |

But are the Bengals for real? Their 23-20 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3, a win that saw quarterback Carson Palmer complete a game-winning touchdown pass to Andre Caldwell with 14 seconds to go, could have been looked at as a fluke, a hard-earned but non-defining victory over a team with a Super Bowl hangover. |
