http://www.steelersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-marcus-gilbert-jersey , and it should come as no surprise to learn that one of the latest markets available for the Pittsburgh Steelers involves where Antonio Brown will be playing football next season. Before Art Rooney II spoke to the media on Thursday, the Steelers were heavy favorites with any sportsbooks offering the wager, but since then the market has taken a notable turn. At odds of 4/1 (+400), MyBookie.ag currently has the Atlanta Falcons listed as the favorites to be the team Brown is on come September 1, with Pittsburgh now behind five other teams as joint third favorites at 7/1 (+700), However, if Atlanta really does end up being Brown’s ultimate destination in 2019, he should be wary of the reception he might get from his future teammate and fellow wide receiver Julio Jones. When caught by the cameras of TMZ on Friday, Jones seemed far from enthused about the prospect of having AB join him on the Falcons roster. Ask if he would like to see Brown in Atlanta, Jones responded.Given how little AB appears to have enjoyed sharing the limelight with JuJu Smith-Schuster this season, it is hard to imagine he would be too excited about fighting for the attention of Matt Ryan with Jones on the other side either. From a financial perspective David DeCastro Jersey , it is also difficult to believe Atlanta would be willing to invest so much money into one position group given how much Jones is set to cost them in 2019.For those consider a wager on his future, it is still hard to ignore Pittsburgh, especially at odds of +700 considering they were -500 only a few day ago. While the San Francisco 49ers are also attractive at the same odds in light of Brown’s apparent interest in them on social media as of late. Thursday night, I was watching the beginning of the Steelers/Panthers game at a Primanti Bros. in Garfield. Shortly after Carolina running back Christian McCaffrey crossed the goal line with a 20-yard touchdown catch to make it 7-0, visitors, a huge roar erupted on the other side of the bar. Were these people watching another contest, like soccer? Were they playing a super-intense game of trivia? No, they were watching Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster reel in a pass from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and take it to the house for a 75-yard touchdown catch and run to make it 7-7. Turns out, this Primanti Bros. had some of its many flat screen TVs tune into the NFL Network feed and others—including the one I was watching—tuned into Fox, which, for some strange reason Authentic Javon Hargrave Jersey , was on a seven-second delay.That was my only complaint about the Steelers ridiculously dominant 52-21 victory over the Panthers at Heinz Field. Do you have any complaints? Are you unhappy with McCaffrey’s first two touchdown catches in which Pittsburgh’s defense seemed to lose track of him out of the backfield? Hey, it’s the NFL, bleep happens. Do you expect the defense to never give up touchdowns? Look at how many touchdowns Carolina’s defense yielded to the Steelers offense—seven. Not only that, Pittsburgh didn’t punt until early in the fourth quarter, which, not coincidentally—and no offense to him—came immediately after backup quarterback Josh Dobbs entered the game. That’s right, Thursday’s handling of the Panthers was so harsh and thorough, Roethlisberger, the quarterback who always insists on being out there with his guys, saw his final action of the night when he found rookie running back Jaylen Samuels for a six-yard touchdown pass to make it 52-14.There was 14:55 left in the fourth quarter. That touchdown pass to Samuels was Roethlisberger’s fifth of the night, a night that saw the decorated quarterback add more trinkets to his uniform Youth Sean Davis Jersey , thanks to a perfect passer-rating of 158.3. I don’t know how to calculate a quarterback-rating, but completing 22 of 25 passes for 328 yards and five touchdowns is obviously one way to do it. Do you want to complain about running back James Conner not tallying 100 yards for the first time since September 30? He probably would have had it not been for a premeditated decision of lessening the wear and tear on him by dividing the labor to other backs—including Stevan Ridley and Samuels, who combined to match Conner’s total of 13 carries on the night. Even if you take away Roethlisberger’s 18-yard scamper—a play that occurred late in the third quarter and would have caused me to get evicted from my apartment building had he actually scored—Pittsburgh’s offense still tallied 120 rushing yards on 27 carries.Not a bad performance on a night that you decide to give your newly-minted workhorse running back a bit of a breather on a short week. Pittsburgh’s offense posted 457 yards—including 319 through the air and 138 on the ground. It scored on all four of its trips inside the red zone—an area on the field new offensive coordinator has become quite adept at in his first season in charge. The Steelers were eight of 11 on third downs—including eight of nine before—again, no offense to him—Dobbs replaced Roethlisberger early in the fourth quarter. The time of possession could have been a little better than 30:35, and it may have been had Carolina’s defense provided a bit more resistance. As for the Steelers defense, how can you possibly have anything to complain about? Keith Butler’s unit yielded a measly 242 yards and three touchdowns, with 60 of those yards and one of those touchdowns coming in garbage time. Seven of the Panthers 11 possessions ended in either a punt, a fumble or a pick-six. That pick-six was recorded by inside linebacker Vince Williams, who was the guy responsible for losing track of McCaffrey on his first touchdown just moments earlier. Outside linebacker T.J. Watt was the guy who pressured Panthers quarterback Cam Newton into the errant pass that floated harmlessly into Williams’ arms. Watt also had one of the team’s five sacks on the night, as the defense provided constant pressure on Newton, who looked far from the NFL MVP he was just three years earlier. Heck Cheap James Conner Jersey , even Chris Boswell got into the act, by kicking a 50-yard field goal and—believe it or not—connecting on all seven of his extra point attempts. Holy bleep, the Steelers scored seven touchdowns on Thursday! So, finally, I don’t want you to respond to this article with your usual “I don’t know....” or “Great win, however........” Save it. The only thing the Steelers gave you to complain about on Thursday was not being able to complain. cheap football jerseys
