Antonio Brown – Noteworthy
WR Antonio Brown caught five passes for 62 yards and scored his second touchdown in as many weeks.

Ben Roethlisberger – Noteworthy
QB Ben Roethlisberger experienced a tale of two halves during Sunday’s 26-14 setback to the Baltimore Ravens. After throwing for 224 yards in the first half, Roethlisberger saw the Steelers’ offense muster just 47 yards in the second half. All told, Pittsburgh (1-2-1) rushed for just 19 yards and converted just 2 of 12 third-down opportunities. “I didn’t make enough throws and we didn’t convert first downs,” the 36-year-old Roethlisberger said. “We were terrible on third downs. That’s on me. We didn’t make enough plays in the second half.”

WR Darrius Heyward-Bey sustained an ankle injury during Sunday night’s game.

The Steelers, who had 19 rushing yards on Sunday in a loss to Baltimore, are also reportedly exploring trade options.
