Steelers back in position to affect AFC playoff picture

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin reacts to his team's victory over the Raiders and Landry Jones' ability to fill in for an injured Ben Roethlisberger.

PITTSBURGH -- The tone and outlook completely shifted within hours.

In the fourth quarter of the Pittsburgh Steelers' win over the Oakland Raiders, right tackle Marcus Gilbert was smashing his helmet on the ground in disgust as Ben Roethlisberger left the field once more on a cart.

About an hour later, the Steelers seemed at ease in the locker room, ready for anything. They've seen their injury report fill up weekly.
