Palmer remained in New York until Monday to be examined and get a second opinion from New York Mets team doctor David Altchek, but still will miss Sundays game against the Steelers. Ryan Fitzpatrick, who will start against the Steelers, started his second game of the season for the Bengals on Sunday against the Jets and while he had a stronger performance, the absence of Palmer is noticeable.

They are not quite the same team without him, said linebacker James Farrior. Carson is the leader of the team. He runs the show. He gets everybody in place and doing what they are supposed to be doing. Without him its a big loss.

One thing the Steelers do have to protect themselves against is looking past the Bengals because of their record. Talking to the players, its something that doesnt appear like it will be a problem.

In this profession, in this day and age, we dont get caught up in records, said Ward. We know on any given Sunday any team can win. They arent a bad team. They have had a hard time of finding ways to win the games. They still have great playmakers over there. And its a divisional game. Any time you play a divisional game records dont matter.

That is true...
Still can't believe the Browns were the team to beat the Giants.

And Browns were 1-4, I'm sure the Giants overlooked them somewhat and you see the outcome, So I hope we are looking at the game this Sunday and no further..
