Tomlin talks regularly with his QB

The Pittsburgh Steelers are working closely with troubled quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to make sure he turns his life around, although coach Mike Tomlin didn’t offer any specifics Wednesday about what the team is doing.

Tomlin said he talks regularly with Roethlisberger, who recently underwent a behavioral evaluation as part of the six-game suspension handed down April 21 by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

“He has a commitment to being what we desire for him to be and what his team needs him to be and that’s my focus,” Tomlin said. “I’ve seen Ben quite a bit and communicated with him quite a bit throughout all of this.”

Roethlisberger was suspended after a 20-year-old Georgia college student accused him of sexual assault in March. No charges were filed.

Roethlisberger is also being sued by a woman who claims he sexually assaulted her at a Lake Tahoe hotel in 2008 but faces no charges.

Reed’s field goal lifts Steelers over Ravens, keeps playoff hopes alive

There’s still a tomorrow for the Pittsburgh Steelers, all they could have asked for only days ago. There’s also a next week for the Baltimore Ravens, or exactly what they didn’t want.

Jeff Reed’s 38-yard field goal put Pittsburgh ahead with 5:25 remaining and the Steelers finally preserved a fourth-quarter lead, beating rival Baltimore 23-20 on Sunday to further jumble the complicated AFC postseason race.

The Steelers (8-7), their season seemingly ended by a late-season five-game losing streak, followed their last-second 37-36 victory over Green Bay with another tight victory helped by Reed’s three field goals and Rashard Mendenhall’s touchdown run. Now, their final regular season game at Miami will have some meaning, although the Steelers could win and still be eliminated.

According to the NFL, the Ravens (8-7) will clinch an AFC wild-card playoff spot if they win Sunday at Oakland. The Steelers must win and hope for some losses as the Jets, Ravens, Broncos, Texans and Pittsburgh all go into the final weekend with the same record.

“It’s been do or die for us for a while, fighting to the last minute. We’re like the cardiac kids,” said Ben Roethlisberger, who threw a touchdown pass while becoming the first Steelers quarterback to pass for 4,000 yards in a season.

Ward Apologizes To Team

Hines Ward apologized to his teammates today after talking with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger at length for his NBC-TV interview he said was misinterpreted.

“We talked. I’m not going to get into what was specifically said,” Ward said at lunchtime in front of his locker. “The issue’s been resolved.

“I apologized to the team today for having to even answer questions about this. We’ve moved on and getting ready for Oakland.”

The preparations for this season opened up on the first night of training camp when Roethlisberger himself apologized to teammates for getting sued in civil court. He said he did not want it to become a distraction for the Super Bowl champs.

Ward sparked a new debate this week about concussions in football after an interview with NBC-TV on Roethlisberger’s late scratch from Sunday’s game in Baltimore because of lingering effects from a concussion the previous week.

Steelers’ Parker knows the score

When head coach Mike Tomlin announced last week he was sticking with second-year running back Rashard Mendenhall over veteran Willie Parker as the starter, it wasn’t much of a surprise, even to Parker.

Parker said last week he wasn’t 100 percent healthy after sitting out two games with a sprained toe and he understood Tomlin’s decision to stay with Mendenhall, who’s averaging 5.4 yards per carry.

What Parker probably didn’t realize was his reserve status would net him just one carry in last Sunday’s 27-17 victory over Minnesota.

That was three fewer carries than third-down back Mewelde Moore and one fewer than rookie wide receiver Mike Wallace, who had 19 yards on two end-arounds.

Steelers safety Polamalu says no to brace

Troy Polamalu called an audible Sunday, and it helped make for a triumphant return for the Steelers’ strong safety.

Polamalu ditched the knee brace he wore during pregame warm-ups yesterday. Not coincidentally, the five-time Pro Bowler made a key interception as well as four tackles in the Steelers’ 27-14 win over the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field.

Polamalu had worn a brace last week in practice to protect his left knee, which he sprained in the Steelers’ season opener Sept. 10.

“I tried going in warm-ups with the brace, and it just wasn’t going to happen,” Polamalu said. “There was no way I could keep up with any receiver, so I kind of gambled a little bit and thank God it worked out.”
