NFL Notes: Pittsburgh Wins; Bears/Broncos, Packers/Raiders Previews

>>Steelers Outslug Browns

(Pittsburgh, PA)  --  Ben Roethlisberger battled through an ankle injury to throw two touchdown passes and lead the Steelers to a 14-3 win over the Browns on "Thursday Night Football."  Roethlisberger had to be helped to the locker room after injuring the ankle in the second quarter.  He returned for the start of the second half and threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Brown in the fourth quarter.  "Big Ben" was 17-of-22 for 280 yards for the Steelers, who have won four straight to improve to an AFC-best 10-and-3.  The Steelers play at San Francisco in Week 15.

>>Tebow, Broncos Battle Bears In Denver

(Denver, CO)  --  Tim Tebow will try and work his magic once again as the red-hot Denver Broncos welcome in the scuffling Chicago Bears to Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday for a Week 14 tilt.  It was suppose to be Jay Cutler's first return to Denver since being traded to the Windy City after the 2008 campaign, but instead the Bears will stumble into the contest on the heels of a two-game slide with backup Caleb Hanie under center.  Chicago had won five straight before Cutler broke his right thumb in Week 11.  They are coming off a 10-3 setback at Kansas City last weekend to fall to 7-and-5 on the season.  Running back Matt Forte is also out for Sunday's game after spraining his MCL last Sunday.

>>Packers Continue Pursuit Of Perfection Vs. Raiders

(Green Bay, WI)  --  The Packers will continue their pursuit of perfection when they host the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.  Mason Crosby's 30-yard field goal as time expired lifted the Packers to a thrilling 38-35 road win over the Giants last week.  The defending Super Bowl champs improved to 12-and-0 and locked up the NFC North title.  The Packers and Raiders are meeting for the first time since 2007.
