Former NFL WR Braylon Edwards and more on the Steelers’ last-second win over the Chargers:

Being a receiver I feel for Antonio Brown. Hard for him to be that dynamic weapon without timing chemistry.

LeVeon Bell is a beast! #B1G10
— ANTHONY ADAMS (@spiceadams) October 13, 2015

This dude is so nice man!! Leveon Bell is a problem. His dead leg is "deadly". Lol. Ok ok it was lame.
— Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) October 13, 2015

— Draymond Green (@Money23Green) October 13, 2015

I never understood how defenses allow Antonio Gates free release in the red zone and they dont protect the corner. He scored in the left
— Braylon Edwards (@OfficialBraylon) October 13, 2015

Corner damn near 70% of the time. Oh well keep Ballin AG
— Braylon Edwards (@OfficialBraylon) October 13, 2015

Wow, not much going thru the air for Pitt - but how quickly that can change! A little Cmbk-n-go & beautiful deep ball by Vick! #HereWeGo
— Kurt Warner (@kurt13warner) October 13, 2015

— LeSean Shady Mccoy (@CutonDime25) October 13, 2015

Mick like... Man bump all these "timing routes"... just run fast that way... Lol
— Brian Dawkins (@BrianDawkins) October 13, 2015

All you have to do is let Vick play. He's never been a drop back passer. Have him rollout, Let him throw it deep and scramble!
— Peak Work Archie (@JoshHarris25) October 13, 2015

Do what we did with Vick on Madden 04'. We have ONE read. If that's covered, scramble.
— Peak Work Archie (@JoshHarris25) October 13, 2015

Rivers just assaulted a canary — Kyle (@Ky1eLong) October 13, 2015 Never mind it was a parakeet — Kyle (@Ky1eLong) October 13, 2015

Classics! That boy Bell is special — RJ Hunter (@RJHunter22) October 13, 2015

Setup by that huge Vick run. I wonder if folks want that run taken back... Considering, they didn't want him signed and all
— FOST (@GeorgeFoster72) October 13, 2015

Pretty cool to see Vick run a 2 min offense again. Takes make back to his Atlanta days!
