The Pittsburgh Steelers could be without Heath Miller for the second straight game in Week 14, as the tight end if dealing with an injury and could be out for Ben Roethlisberger. Antonio Brown had a big game last week for the Steelers, but he got a bit too excited during a touchdown celebration and was fined for his antics.
Miller missed last week against the Colts on Sunday night football after being listed as questionable for the game and he could be out against the Bengals on Sunday. According to Pro Football Talk, Miller was not able to practice on Wednesday with a rib injury and there is a chance he will not play this week. Jesse James would start in Miller's place if he was out for a second straight game. Miller has 39 catches for 390 yards and one touchdown this season.
Antonio Brown had another standout game for the Steelers on Sunday night and he comes in after putting up eight catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns. Brown had a punt return for a touchdown as well and Brown was very excited about that score, as he jumped onto the goalpost with his legs and slid down to the ground in celebration.
According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Brown was fined for the celebration and the play also drew a 15-yard penalty for celebration. Brown was returning punts after some mishaps from Jacoby Jones and he comes into the weekend listed as the number one punt returner on the depth chart. Brown was fined $11,576 for his celebration and now he could get another chance to make an impact on special teams against the Bengals.
The Steelers are in playoff contention and are sitting at number seven in the AFC conference standings heading into the weekend. The Steelers have a chance at the division if they get a win on Sunday, but even beyond that, the team is in a dogfight for the wild card, as a number of teams are in the mix coming into Week 14. The Steelers are 7-5 ahead of the 6-6 Bills and Texans, while the 7-5 Jets and Chiefs are currently in the wild card spots.
