Cowher: Catch the ball!
| |  | |
| Graham |
Kent Graham, out of the lineup for two weeks, was 13-of-33 passing for 173 yards during Sunday's 15-0 win over the Bengals. But head coach Bill Cowher has already stated that Graham will remain his starting quarterback, and blames Pittsburgh's receivers for some of Sunday's problems on offense. "To me, if the guy gets two hands on it, he has to catch it," Cowher said in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "Is that an inaccurate ball?"
Witman could be out for year

Witman |
Fullback Jon Witman apparently broke his right ankle Sunday against Cincinnati and could miss the rest of the season. The Steelers were awaiting further tests on the ankle Monday, but the preliminary diagnosis was that it was broken. Witman was hurt while blocking on a 5-yard run by Jerome Bettis early in the fourth quarter. Two players, one from each team, rolled across his leg as he was on the turf. "If he is out, it's really going to hurt us," Bettis said.
"He's a major part of what we're doing. I'm going to miss him and
the offense is going to miss him."
TJ: Porter deserves honors
