BETTIS TO HALL OF FAME Former Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jerome Bettis was honored for his illustrious career as one of the NFL’s most prolific running backs as he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015, and was en-shrined on Saturday, August 8, at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. He was honored during the team’s Thursday Night Football game in Week 4 against Baltimore during a special ring ceremony. Bettis played in 192 regular-season games in his 13-year career, spending his fi rst three years with the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams and the fi nal 10 with the Steelers. The Detroit native registered the sixth-most rushing yards (13,662) in NFL history. Bettis eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark in 61 games during the regular season and three times in the postseason, compiling a 47-17 record in those contests. He recorded 78 rushing touchdowns as a member of the Steel-ers during the regular season, the second-most in franchise history behind Hall of Famer Franco Harris (91). In all, Bettis led his team in rushing 11 seasons, three with the Rams and eight with the Steel-ers. His eight 1,000-plus yard seasons tied for third-best in the NFL when he retired. Bettis was named to six Pro Bowls, voted fi rst team All-Pro twice, second team All-Pro once and was the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year in 1996. In 10 years in Pittsburgh, Bettis helped the Steel-ers reach four AFC Championship games and win Super Bowl XL in 2005, fi nishing his career with a victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Before he came to Pittsburgh in 1996 and recorded 1,431 rushing yards in his fi rst season, the Steelers had only one 1,000+ yard rusher in the previous 12 seasons.

2015 AFC NORTH STANDINGS

PITTSBURGH – With less than three minutes remaining in the game, QB Andy Dalton threw a go-ahead nine-yard touchdown to WR A.J. Green, and K Mike Nugent made a 44-yard fi eld goal to seal the 16-10 victory for the Bengals.

The Steelers scored on their opening drive, going 80 yards in 12 plays. QB Ben Roethlisberger, who returned to the starting lineup after missing the previous four games due to a knee injury, capped off the drive with a one-yard touchdown pass to WR Antonio Brown. Pittsburgh’s offense would struggle to move the football the remainder of the game.

On the Bengals’ ensuing drive, Nugent connected on a 44-yard fi eld goal to cut the lead to 7-3. Nugent added a 45-yard fi eld goal on the fi rst play of the second quarter to cut the lead to 7-6, which was the halftime score.

Midway through the third quarter, K Chris Boswell con-nected on a 32-yard fi eld goal to extend Pittsburgh’s lead to 10-6. But it would be the fi nal points for Pittsburgh on the afternoon.

Both defenses forced turnovers, but neither offense could capitalize until S Shawn Williams picked off Roethlisberger at the Pittsburgh 45-yard line. Dalton then led the Bengals on a six-play, 45-yard drive that he capped off with the go-ahead score to Green.

Pittsburgh took over but Roethlisberger threw an intercep-tion to S Reggie Nelson on the team’s fi rst play. Nugent then made his 44-yard fi eld goal to seal the win.

The Steelers had one last chance to win the game. Roeth-lisberger led the team to the Bengals’ 16-yard line, but his fi nal pass was thrown out of the end zone.

He is one of only two Steelers’ head coaches to win three division titles in his fi rst four seasons. Tomlin was appointed by Commisioner Roger Goodell to the NFL’s Competition Committee in March, 2013. In 2014, Tomlin, who has a defensive coaching background, orchestrated one of the top offensive outputs in team history. The Steelers broke numerous offensive records, including points scored (436), total yards (6,577), passing yards/game (301.6) and total fi rst downs (379). On an individual basis in 2014, Tomlin guided QB Ben Roethlisberger, WR Antonio Brown and RB Le’Veon Bell – whom all made the Pro Bowl – to record-setting years. Roethlisberger had personal bests in passing yards (4,952), completions (408) and passing TDs (32, T-2007), while Brown established team records for receptions (129), receiving yards (1,698) and receiving TDs (13). Bell, in his fi rst full year as a starter, who was also named Team MVP, broke the Steelers’ records for scrimmage yards (2,215) as well as receptions (83) and receiving yards (854) by a running back. Over the past two seasons, Tomlin has led the team to a 7-1 record in the month of December, winning each of the last four in 2014 to capture the AFC North title. Arguably one of his best coaching performances may possibly have come in the second half of the 2013 season. Despite an 0-4 and 2-6 start to the season, the Steelers fi nished the regular season surging to a 6-2 second-half record, falling just short of the playoffs. However, he rallied the team despite numerous injuries on both sides of the ball, to stick together and fi nished second in the AFC North. The 2013 campaign also saw QB Ben Roethlisberger, WR and team WR Antonio Brown and RB Le’Veon Bell break numerous regular-season records for the Steelers. Brown and S Troy Polamalu were each selected to the Pro Bowl following the season. Tomlin led the Steelers to a 27-10 victory over the New York Jets in the 2012 home opener, becoming the fi rst coach in team history to win his fi rst six home openers. The Steelers fi nished the season with the top-ranked overall defense (275.8 ypg) and fi nished fi rst in passing defense (185.2 ypg). In 2011, Tomlin led the Steelers to a 12-4 record, marking the second straight season the team posted 12 wins, which marked only the second time in team history it has been achieved. The Steelers fi nished second in total defense under Tomlin in 2010, allowing only 276.8 yards per game. Pittsburgh led the NFL and set a team record in rushing defense, yielding only 62.8 yards per game (1,004 yards), the third-best total in NFL history dating back to 1970. The Steelers also established an NFL record in 2010 by not allowing an opponent to rush for more than 75 yards in any of their fi rst eight games during the regular season.

VICK LEADS TEAM TO COMEBACKQB Mike Vick Vick led Pittsburgh to a fourth-quarter comeback

and game-winning drive on Monday Night Football in Week 5 at San Diego in the team’s 24-20 win over the Chargers. He connected with WR Markus Wheaton for a 72-yard touchdown and fi nished the game with 203 passing yards on 13-of-26 passing with a touchdown and interception for a passer rating of 73.1.

The come-from-behind win marked Vick’s 14th fourth-quarter comeback and 15th game-winning drive of his NFL career and fi rst since Sept. 30, 2012 while with Philadelphia.

Vick made his fi rst start with the Steelers in Week 4 vs. Baltimore due to an injury to QB Ben Roethlisberger. In his Pittsburgh starting debut, he completed 19-of-26 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown for a passer rating of 95.7

Vick joined the Steelers as a free agent on August 25 and is in his 15th NFL season after being selected with the fi rst overall selection by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2001 NFL Draft and remained with the Falcons through 2006. He was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009 and spent fi ve years with the Eagles before joining the New York Jets in 2014.

In his NFL career, Vick has appeared in 143 games (114 starts) and completed 1,807-of-3,217 passes for 22,464 yards with 133 touchdowns and added 6,109 rushing yards - the most rushing yards by an NFL quarterback in league history - and 36 rushing touchdowns on 873 rushing attempts. Vick, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, also earned NFL Comeback Player of the Year accolades in 2010.

JONES’ DEBUT FOR THE AGESQB Landry Jones led the Steelers to a 25-13 come-from-behind

victory in Week 6 vs. Arizona after entering the game and seeing regular-season action for the fi rst time in his NFL career. In the game, Jones:

• Completed 8-of-12 passes for 168 yards with two touchdowns for a passer rating of 149.3.

• He connected with WR Martavis Bryant for both touchdowns, one coming from eight yards and the other from 88 yards. The 88-yard touchdown is tied for the eighth-longest pass play in team history.

• His 149.3 passer rating is the second-highest for an NFL quarterback in their fi rst career game (min. 10 attempts) behind only Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota’s 158.3 in 2015.

Jones made his fi rst career NFL start in Week 7 at Kansas City, and completed 16-of-29 passing for 209 yards with a touchdown.

In Week 9 vs. Oakland, Jones entered the game in relief of injured QB Ben Roethlisberger in the fourth quarter and completed 4-of-6 passes for 79 yards, including a 57-yarder to WR Antonio Brown to set up the game-winning fi eld goal.

Jones made his fi rst career home start in the regular season in Week 10 vs. Cleveland and completed 3-of-4 passes for 23 yards before leaving the game in the fi rst quarter due to injury.

He became the eighth Steelers quarterback in the Super Bowl era to earn a win in his fi rst career home start. (Dennis Dixon: Sept. 12, 2010 vs. Atlanta, Charlie Batch: Nov. 13, 2005 vs. Cleveland, Ben Roethlisberger: Oct. 3, 2004 vs. Cincinnati, Tommy Maddox: Oct. 21 2002 vs. Indianapolis, Steve Bono: Oct. 18, 1987 vs. Indianapolis, Mark Kruczek: Oct. 17, 1976 vs. Cincinnati and Joe Gilliam: Sept. 15, 1974 vs. Baltimore).

DE Cameron Heyward recorded his team-leading fi fth sack of the season and 20th of his NFL career, bringing down Seattle QB Russell Wilson for a loss of eight yards in the fi rst quarter of Week 12’s game. He now has at least fi ve sacks in each of the previous three seasons and joins Keith Willis (1983-86 and 1989-91) as the only Steelers defensive ends to record fi ve sacks in three consecu-tive seasons since sacks became an offi cial statistic in 1982. With 20 sacks in his NFL career, all with Pittsburgh, Heyward is the seventh Steelers defensive lineman to record 20 sacks with the team since sacks became an offi cial statistic in 1982. Heyward was also redited with a blocked extra point on a Seattle attempt in the third quarter in Week 12 – the fi rst blocked PAT by a Steeler since Dec. 8, 2013 vs. Miami (Troy Polamalu). The fi fth-year defensive end tallied his fourth sack of 2015 in Week 10 vs. Cleveland, increasing his career total to 19. Heyward’s fi rst sack of the year came in Week 2’s home opener vs. San Francisco. He added his second sack of the season on a strip-sack against in Week 4 and in Week 7 brought down Kansas City QB Alex Smith for his third sack. Since the start of the 2014 season, Heyward has totaled 12.5 sacks - the 11th-most among AFC defensive ends. In the third quarter of Week 8’s game vs. Cincinnati, Heyward blocked a Bengals’ fi eld goal attempt, the second block of his career, and the fi rst by a Steeler since his block against the Bengals on Dec. 4, 2011.

HEYWARD EMERGES HARRISON RETURNS

LB James Harrison, who announced his retirement on September 5, 2014 returned to the Steelers for a 12th season in the NFL in 2014 (11th with Pittsburgh: 2002, 2004-12 and 2013 with Cincinnati) and re-signed with the franchise on March 22, 2015. Harrison posted his fi rst sack of the 2015 season in Week 4, bringing down Ravens QB Joe Flacco and added a sack and forced fumble vs. Arizona in Week 6. Against Indianapolis in Week 13, Harrison was credited with 3.0 sacks and a forced fumble - the sixth regular-season game of his career with three or more quarterback takedowns. His multi-sack game vs. the Colts was his 18th with the Steelers, establishing a new team record, while increasing his sack totals to 74.5 with the Steelers and 76.5 in his NFL career. His 74.5 quarterback takedowns are the second-most by a Steeler since sacks became an offi cial statistic in 1982:

The linebacker also ranks second in team history for career forced fumbles, behind only Greg Lloyd (since 1987):

DE Stephon Tuitt has set a single-season career-high with 4.5 sacks in 2015. He recorded a quarterback takedown in three straight games from Weeks 2-4 and added a sack in Week 10 vs. Cleveland. The second-year defensive end brought down Ravens QB Joe Flacco for a sack in Week 4. Combined with his takedown of Rams QB Nick Foles for a sack in Week 3 game at St. Louis and his fi rst career multi-sack game of his career in Week 2, the Notre Dame product has posted the fi rst sack streak in his NFL career.

DO-IT-TUITT

CB Antwon Blake has set a single-season personal-best with two interception in 2015, and a career-high 62 tackles (50 solo). He provided Pittsburgh with its fi rst touchdown in Week 5’s Mon-day Night Game at San Diego courtesty of a 70-yard interception returned for a touchdown - the fi rst pick six of his NFL career - and his second career interception. His 70-yard INT-TD marked the longest pick six by a Steeler since DE Brett Keisel’s 79-yard return for a touchdown in 2010 (Sept. 26 at Tampa Bay). In Week 8 vs. Cincinnati, Blake picked off QB Andy Dalton to mark his second interception of the season and third of his NFL career.

BLAKE SETTING PERSONAL MARKS

S Mike Mitchell leads the Steelers defense with three intercep-tions through the fi rst 12 games in 2015 and ranks third on the unit with 59 tackles (47 solo). He recorded his seventh career interception - fi rst as a Steeler - in the team’s end zone during the fourth quarter of Week 6’s game vs. Arizona. Mitchell was also credited with a fumble recovery, on a forced fumble caused by LB James Harrison, his fourth career defensive fumble recovery, and fi rst as a Steeler. Mitchell added his second interception of the 2015 season - eighth of his NFL career - in Week 8 vs. Cincinnati, picking off Bengals’ QB Andy Dalton. In Week 10 vs. Cleveland, Mitchell picked off Cleveland QB Johnny Manziel to mark his third interception of the season and the ninth of his NFL career. He added fi ve tackles, all solo, and two passes defensed.

In Week 10 vs. Cleveland, Timmons brought down Johnny Man-ziel for a sack, now with 2.5 in 2015, and increased his career total to 30.5 – the 12th-most in Steelers history since sacks became an offi cial statistic in 1982. He added 10 tackles (7 solo) in the game. Timmons led all defenders with a game-high 10 stops (7 solo) and shared a sack with LB Ryan Shazier in Week 7 at Kansas City.

100Timmons’ team and career-high 155 tackles in 2013 marked

the third time in the last four seasons (2010 and 2012) that he eclipsed 100 tackles.

TIMMONS’ DIGITS

SHAZIER’S SOPHOMORE CAMPAIGN Pittsburgh’s 2014 fi rst round draft selection - LB Ryan Shazier - has started and played in eight of the Steelers’ 13 games in 2015 and has established career highs of 54 tackles (40 solo) and 3.0 sacks, to go along with nine tackles for losses, six quarterback hits, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Shazier led the team’s linebacking corps with seven tackles (fi ve solo), including two tackles for a loss in the team’s regular-season opener at New England in Week 1. He followed up his Week 1 game with a game and career-high 15 tackles, including three stops for a loss and tallied his fi rst career sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery in Week 2 vs. San Fran-cisco. Shazier ranked fi fth among all NFL defenders with a combined 22 tackles in the fi rst two weeks of the season. The second-year linebacker returned to the fi eld in Week 7 at Kansas City, and contributed 4 tackles (3 solo), along with a split-sack with LB Lawrence Timmons. In Week 8 vs. Cincinnati, Shazier tied for the team-lead with eight tackles (six solo), along with two tackles for a loss and a half-sack. Against Oakland in Week 9, he reorded a forced fumble – his sec-ond of his career – and second of 2015 (Week 2 vs. San Francisco) and added 7 tackles (6 solo). Shazier tallied his third sack of 2015 in Week 10, bringing down Cleveland QB Johnny Manziel and fi nished the game with 6 tackles (5 solo).

ROOKIE DUPREE LB Bud Dupree - the team’s fi rst round selection in the 2015 NFL Draft - has provided the defensive unit with 21 tackles (15 solo), along with a sack in four games in 2015 (Weeks 1-2, 5 and 8). He made his fi rst career start in Week 12 at Seattle. Through Week 13, Dupree is tied for second among NFL rookies with 4.0 sacks:

PITTSBURGH – The Steelers ended their 2015 preseason with a 23-6 loss at Heinz Field to the Carolina Panthers.

After a scoreless first quarter, Carolina scored 17 second-quarter points to take a 17-0 lead into halftime.

K Graham Gano connected on a 23-yard field goal to start the scoring. RB Jordan Todman scored on a 49-yard run. And QB Joe Webb threw a 23-yard touchdown to WR Mar-cus Lucas.

The Steelers got a splash play on special teams from FB Roosevelt Nix on Carolina’s first possession of the second half. Nix’s blocked punt set the Steelers up at the Panthers’ 30-yard line. Newly acquired K Josh Scobee made a 27-yard field goal to cut the lead 17-3.

But Pittsburgh’s offense could not get going, which al-lowed Carolina to increase its lead. Gano connected on a 23-yarder and 27-yarder to give the Panthers a 23-3 advan-tage midway through the fourth quarter.

Scobee made a 27-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to cut the lead 23-6, but it would be the closest the Steelers would get.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – QB Tom Brady’s four touch-down passes lifted the Patriots to a 28-21 victory over the Steelers at Gillette Stadium in the 2015 NFL Kickoff Game.
