And then there were 12. The regular season has ended Devin Singletary Jersey , and wild card weekend is upon as the final dozen teams seek a chance at the Super Bowl and NFL glory. The familiar teams are all there, as Green Bay, Seattle, New England, and Denver are tending to their byes atop the conferences.What of this weekend, though? Years past has seen wild card teams get hot and make deep playoff pushes. The future Super Bowl champion could very well take the field on Saturday or Sunday. So why not the Steelers? A rocky start to the year saw them lose to the Cleveland Browns and inexplicably to the two-win Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dropping three of their first six. Since then, however Kyler Murray Jersey , the Steelers have rebounded.After besting the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night to close out the year, the Steelers have been crowned champions of one of the toughest division in the league, as both AFC wild card teams came from the North. It seems that the chaos of the division, with focus on the once optimistic Browns and the continued analysis and confusion concerning Andy Dalton, has made the Steelers an afterthought. They aren’t a particularly sexy team after all, but they weren’t when they won the Super Bowl in the recent past either.So the Steelers will host hated rival Baltimore this weekend with a chance to visit Denver and Peyton Manning the following week. Any AFC champion will have to go through New England as well (this makes the Steelers a 14-1 bet to win it all).Pittsburgh has as good a shot as any to take out the powerhouses of the AFC and return to the Super Bowl. These playoffs boast teams with championships already to their credit, as Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Tomlin won together in 2008, with Big Ben winning another with Bill Cowher in 2005. With that http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-dawson-knox-jersey , we take a look at the ten reasons why the Pittsburgh Steelers can go four in a row to win the Super Bowl. COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Easton Stick has drawn comparisons to Carson Wentz and Taysom Hill since being drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers in the fifth round two weeks ago. There’s nothing wrong with comparisons, but the first task for the fifth-round pick is learning the playbook.He’s also taking a key piece of advice that Wentz gave him to heart, which is to continue doing what got him drafted. That process started over the weekend when the Chargers held their rookie minicamp.“You can’t come out and try to reinvent yourself or be somebody that you’re not. People see through that stuff and it won’t allow you to be successful,” Stick said.Stick succeeded Wentz at North Dakota State after Wentz was the second overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016. All Stick did was become the winningest quarterback in FCS history (49-3) while leading the Bison to three national championships.Wentz has continued to mentor Stick throughout his career as the two continue to be in regular contact with each other.Stick displayed plenty of athleticism at North Dakota State.He passed for 8,693 yards and 88 touchdowns butt also rushed for 2,523 yards and 41 TDs. Offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt said the Bison’s offense was more conventional compared to other colleges and that his presence in the pocket along with throwing on the run stood out. Whisenhunt and coach Anthony Lynn also noted that Stick lined up under center more compared to other college quarterbacks, which should also put him slightly ahead.What also stood out was Stick’s ability to retain information. Whisenhunt said they quizzed Stick on three plays they sent him and that the level of recall was above average compared to other college players.“It’s still on the board in there (the quarterback room) http://www.giantsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dexter-lawrence-jersey ,” Whisenhunt said. “For a college football player having to learn something that’s a little bit different than what he’s done, put the time in and come back without any notice and be able to put it back up on the board was really impressive.”It is the fourth time since 2006 that the Chargers have drafted a quarterback with the hope that he would develop into a solid backup to Philip Rivers. The only time though that has been the case was in 2006, when they selected Charlie Whitehurst in the third round. Whitehurst spent six seasons with the Chargers in two stints (2006-09 and 2012-13).The plans for this season though are that Stick will vie with Cardale Jones for the third quarterback spot after the Chargers signed Tyrod Taylor to be Rivers’ backup. Stick said that Rivers has texted him but that the two have not met yet.There is the possibility that Stick could see the field if the Chargers use him like the Saints have done with Hill. New Orleans’ third-string quarterback lined up as a running back, tight end, wide receiver and was used on special teams last season. At 6-foot-1, 224-pounds, Stick has the bulk and has shown the durability to take hard hits.Whisenhunt said Hill’s first task though is learning how to play quarterback in their system.“It’s hard to think that you’re just going to plug somebody into that role and think he can do it without really learning the basics of having to play quarterback,” Whisenhunt said. “He’s an athlete. He does a lot of good things athletically on the field http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/zach-allen-jersey , which you can see him do, but we are excited to see him play the quarterback position and see how he can develop at that.”While Stick was taking snaps on the practice field, first-round pick Jerry Tillery continues to rehab from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The defensive tackle remains on track to be cleared for contact by the start of training camp in late July.
