Donte Moncrief‘s first game with the Pittsburgh Steelers is one he would like to forget as soon as possible.Moncrief managed just three catches on 10 targets in Sunday night’s regular season opener against the New England Patriots. His three catches netted just seven yards and Moncrief had a handful of passes hit his hands that he was unable to secure https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-juju-smith-schuster-jersey , including a fourth-and-one conversion and a potential touchdown.“It’s sickening when you watch it and you know the plays that you’re supposed to make and you didn’t make them,” Moncrief said, via Mike Prisuta of the team’s website. “And you see them and you’re like, ‘Gosh, I know I gotta make that.’ The other day, after we watched that film, there was a feeling in my stomach, it hurt. I went home, went straight to sleep Womens James Conner Jersey , it hurt me. I had to put that away.“That was my first one like that, that was a bad one. It hurt, but at the end of the day it’s the NFL, all you can do is get better the next day. You gotta bounce back. You can’t let it hold you down.”The missed chances probably wouldn’t have shifted the outcome of the game against New England, but it still wasn’t the best first impression to leave either. Moncrief has been dealing with a dislocated middle finger since early in training camp but he wouldn’t use that as a crutch for the dropped passes against the Patriots.The ten targets Moncrief saw in New England were the most of any Steelers’ receiver. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he’s not altering his approach with Moncrief due to one shaky outing.Moncrief is looking to bounce back this week against the Seattle Seahawks, who only allowed 20 points to the Cincinnati Bengals last week but saw Andy Dalton throw for over 400 yards on 51 attempts.“He believes in me,” Moncrief said of Roethlisberger. “He knows what I can do. I know what I can do. At the end of the day that was my worst game ever in my career, and it hurt.“But you can’t just sit there and just pout about it. You gotta get better, and that’s what I’m doing.” The Pittsburgh Steelers had high hopes for their final quarter of the season. After coming away with a win on the road against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14 T. J. Watt Jersey , the team followed it up with a prime time dud against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. The loss to the Bills didn’t just end a winning streak, but solidified the Bills as the 5th seed in the AFC Playoff Picture. But the Steelers still controlled their own destiny to obtain the 6th seed. All they had to do was win the final two games of the season, and their ticket would be punched. Week 16 provided a trip to the New York Jets, and the team fell flat 16-10 at Metlife Stadium, losing control of their postseason lives. To make matters worse, the team was dealt a crippling blow of injuries during the loss. After the game, head coach Mike Tomlin gave a general synopsis of some of the injuries, and started with Pro Bowl center, Maurkic Pouncey. Pouncey left the game with a knee injury Jerome Bettis Jersey White , and was unable to return. Tomlin said Pouncey’s injury is being further evaluated.Another key injury occurred to quarterback Mason Rudolph. in relief of Devlin Hodges, and was unable to continue. Tomlin wasn’t specific with the extent of the injury, but it was reported Rudolph left the stadium with his arm in a sling.The other notable injury was to running back James Conner. Conner had an injury to his quad, and although he remained on the sideline in hopes of returning, the injury resulted in him being ruled out of the game. This was Conner’s second game back in the lineup after missing the previous three games with a shoulder injury.The Steelers offense has been crippled with injuries this season, and the aforementioned trio just compound those issues heading into a must-win Week 17 game vs. the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. At this point, no one has confidence in the Steelers offense to score enough points to even beat the Raven’s backups. Either way, stay tuned to BTSC for the latest news and notes surrounding the Steelers as they prepare for the regular season finale next Sunday.
