Baltimore - until 15 years later, Charlie Batch just accept them for life is uncertain. Week after week he worked with Apple Pittsburgh, quarterback ready to play, although they also know the game and they spend ever likely to wear a hat, carry a clipboard and celebrating touchdowns .
Then he walks back to the locker room, the coach sees - wish a happy man with extended hand - and he knows, and you never say so.
Very good job? For what? With cap and clip board?

So Sunday night, Charlie Batch vision. View the last second field goal, a 23-20 victory over Baltimore in the data removed from, the injured Ben Roethlisberger fell into the arms and sobbed. He called for victory. The occasion called for. And he cried because he knows that it will go away. But mostly, she cried because she did not want last week's NFL final memory was Charlie Batch.
You see, last week, this is a game to start. After the end of last season and his first Cleveland, a place where data was captured are expected. It was a game they needed to win. Instead, he had eight turnovers. And even though all of the miscues were not his fault, he felt like he was.
"I was the one in charge of our eight turnovers, I personally took them," he said Sunday night that M & T Bank Stadium in the locker room stands an empty profile.
Sell it sure did not get a second chance. Roethlisberger injured his ribs and shoulder, and Sunday before the data is missing the last two games. But Big Ben wanted to play in Baltimore, Pittsburgh in the season was falling apart, and soaring playoffs is not likely. Saturday Roethlisberger did throw, push forward and play. Finally on Friday, coach Mike Tomlin Forever Beach said Roethlisberger will not play.
Sunday's win was not a nice thing. Steelers-Ravens game never existed. There are fights. There are cheap hits. Players yelling at each other. Tomlin seems corpse away from Baltimore coach John Harbaugh after handling the end of the game. Both series are equally imperfect. He was intercepted once. Another time he threw a pass over his head wide open Emmanuel Sanders in the end zone. He lost several opportunities to push the Steelers downfield. Throughout most of the first half looked like it might blow Ravens Steelers.
Just never did. And that says everything about the Steelers, Tomlin and series.
There is a unique resistance to Pittsburgh. In a league where winning often comes as a mere whim, Steelers produced a win when they seem least likely. Old stars are gone. Current as Roethlisberger and Troy Polamalu are made by years of battle. On Sunday, the Steelers not only have Roethlisberger, wide receiver maneuvered around and juggled things back hoping to find some formula dream. Somehow find one."We thought," Tomlin said after the game.
Then, when asked about his defense that he had forced two choson, he said: "I appreciate the fact they did not let go of the rope."
But Charlie Batch had this game for Pittsburgh. He won his way Roethlisberger had plenty in the past: moving metodikman, from creating beautiful mess. Was 6:14 left in the game when they received stellar ball on their own 15-yard line in a tie game, 20-20. They never gave it back.
"You put your heart and soul into it," he later said. "You try to leave everything out on the field."

Yes, he wept when boteur Shaun Suisham field goal to lift the foggy night and fell into the goalposts. What else could he do?
Monday he sat for hours in the practice facility watching tape of their stellar eight-D game with a sick feeling in his stomach was growing. All day practice game it would not play and this is what he did with Pittsburgh in one desperately needs? How the memory of Cleveland burning inside.
"You want to prove that last week was a trematòd," he said.
Next week it probably will not play. By the weekend, Roethlisberger rib and shoulder will heal and Batch practice, but not play. He started only nine games since lions released him in 2001. In 2002, 2004 and 2008 he did not get in a game, not even for a pass. No statistical line that exists for him in those seasons. It's like he was never there.
Stellar they knew it. Players believe in him as a leader, as a reason to fight. It was the union representative, a player-coach, someone who has been around long enough to have an answer for every situation that could possibly arise.
