Steelers might bring back the 31-year-old Bettis if they draft or sign another running back, but only at a lower price.

Except his attempt to keep moving up the rushing list. Bettis passed Thurman Thomas and former Steelers star Franco Harris the last two weeks and needs 129 yards in his final two games to overtake No. 6 Jim Brown.

"In hindsight, if we had known that passing so much would have been incompletions, yes we probably should have run it. ..."
Itll be cold in Pittsburgh on Sunday, but with only a 10 percent chance of precipitation, the conditions wont be anywhere near as bad as they were in New Jersey last Sunday.
