That would probably ruin Pittsburgh's season. The defense isn't the force it used to be and the Steelers have been really reliant on Roethlisberger and his receivers to win their games. He's quietly assembled a great season and if it's a serious injury, Pittsburgh is done.

Current Draft Order after Week 10: 1) Chiefs (no change from last week) 2) Jaguars (no change) 3) Browns (no change) 4) Panthers (no change) 5) Bills (up 4) 6) Raiders (up 4) 7) Eagles (up 5)8) Redskins (down 3) 9) Jets (up 4) 10) Rams (up 1) 11) Titans (down 5) 12) Chargers (up 5) 13) Bengals (down 6) 14) Dolphins (up 4) 15) Saints (down 7) 16) Lions (up 3) 17) Cardinals (down 2) 18) Cowboys (down 4) 19) Buccaneers (down 3) 20) Vikings (no change) Progress! Yeah, the Eagles are done and so is Andy and probably Vick. Time to tank things and hope for another solid draft class. Of course, that's me talking logically on a Tuesday. Come Sunday, I'll be screaming at my TV about how we're letting Washington kick our ass.

So basically the Ravens can thank the Chiefs for Ben's injury.
KC's only good for one thing- somehow hurting team's playoff chances (Saints and potentially Steelers)

As a staunch Belicheck-era Pats hater, this sacrifice was worth it and may the football gods repay you bountifully in the future.

CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora confirms Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder) is "doubtful" to play in Week 11 versus the Ravens.
NFL insider John Clayton reported on ESPN Tuesday that Jay Cutler (concussion) is "doubtful" to play Monday night at San Francisco.

The Texans worked out free agent kickers Billy Cundiff, Olindo Mare and John Potter on Tuesday. I know nothing about John Potter, but I know Mare and Cundiff were designed at the genetic level before their births to blow close football games. Stay away, Houston, stay far away. Also, a bit of schadenfreude here, but I'm so happy that the Falcons lost, and to a bad team no less. I'm not sure that there's ever been a more overrated 8-0 team.

I'm gonna flat-out say it:
Mark Sanchez deserves to be bench.
The guy has sucked so badly recently, yet the Jets are willing to let him suck.
Either Tebow's that bad or Rex Ryan is going down with the ship.
Jets, if you want to have a chance, BENCH MARK SANCHEZ RIGHT NOW!!
He is the polar opposite of Matt Ryan- you know how we harp on Ryan for his 0-3 playoff record? Sanchez has been coasting on his 4-2 playoff record.
Well, playoff record ain't everything- no way in hell would I take Sanchez over Ryan.

Tebow would actually give them a better chance to win right now. Their QB ratings are near-identical(Sanchez only edges his completion % by a few points) but Tebow gives you so much more production running it. This is possibly the only team where putting in Tebow over the starter is the right decision.

Ben Roethlisberger, Emmanuel Saunders and James Harrison will be fined by the NFL for Big Ben's fake shoulder injury which will allow him to be home in Pittsburgh for the birth of his son.
Seriously though, if Ben misses any significant time, the Steelers season is done. Leftwich is not the QB for the Haley offense and Charlie Batch is a dinosaur. The Ravens run defense sucks, but so does the Steelers running game, so that won't help anything. The aging defense without Polamalu, probably without Clark just isn't going to support the team the way they've done in years past.
The Steelers season relies on the foot of the kicker. Scary.

More stats from the Sunday afternoon games:
While Peyton Manning not only tied Dan Marino for 2nd-most TD passes in NFL history(420), Peyton also tied Marino for 3rd all-time in career wins(Sunday was his 147th victory).
Tony Gonzalez moved into 6th place in career TD catches(101), breaking the tie he was in with Don Hutson before the game, and passed Steve Largent and Tim Brown during the game.
Gonzalez(122 yards and 2 TD's) and Jimmy Graham(146 yards and 2 TD's) are the first pair of TE's to have at least 120 receiving yards and 2 TD catches in the same game.
Jacoby Jones is the 1st player in NFL history to have two career kickoff return TD's of at least 105 yards.
Russell Wilson is the 1st rookie QB since the merger to win his team's 1st 5 home games of a season.
Chris Johnson(126 rushing yards) had his 24th career game of at least 125 rushing yards, 2nd-most in NFL history through a player's first 5 seasons(Eric Dickerson, 27).
In the last five games, Doug Martin has 858 total yards from scrimmage, most in a 5 game span since Edgerrin James had 914 in 1999.
Adrian Peterson(171 rushing yards) had his 11th career game of at least 150 rushing yards, most among active players.
Calvin Johnson(207 receiving yards) had 3rd career game of at least 200 receiving yards, tied for 5th all-time(Lance Alworth has the record with 5 games).
