PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Pittsburgh Steelers suddenly find themselves in a division race that seemingly materialized out of nowhere, and now they're scrambling with two games to go. They're beaten up physically, they've played poorly in successive games and they've got only a couple of days to rest before they play again. Despite all that, coach Mike Tomlin isn't interested in hearing excuses about how the Steelers (9-5) have gone this deep into December without assuring themselves of playing in January. ``Do |

Whisenhunt, offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers before replacing the fired Dennis Green in Arizona, was not so rosy in his evaluation. ``We feel like we're improving, or we are improved,'' he said, ``but 8-8 for us is not something that we're happy with. That's .500. We aspire to do better.''

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost at home for the first time this season, leaving their hopes for an AFC North title still hanging. The New York Giants, who have six consecutive road wins, lost for the third straight time at home, squandering a chance to clinch a playoff spot. And Dallas, a prohibitive front-runner for home-field advantage in the NFC, put that status in jeopardy by losing to Philadelphia in a game in which Tony Romo injured the thumb on his throwing hand. So maybe Cleveland, the longest of long |

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin downplayed Roethlisberger's sore shoulder earlier in the week, saying the injury wasn't significant. However, Roethlisberger's absence from practice Thursday wa |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger missed practice again Thursday because of a sore right shoulder, with Charlie Batch running the starting offense in his place.
