PITTSBURGH -- Revis Island isnt quite as lonely as it once was. Something its longtime owner knows all too well.Now New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis is girding for another population influx on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Asked what scares him about facing the team he watched while growing up in western Pennsylvania, the four-time All-Pro cant help but laugh. The answer is hard to miss. Just check out the highlight shows.Deep balls man, Revis said.Lots and lots and lots of deep balls. And its no longer just wide receiver Antonio Brown and his quicksilver moves and boundary pushing end zone dances doing the damage.Six of Ben Roethlisbergers touchdown passes are from 20 yards or more, the targets a list that includes speedsters Darrius Heyward-Bey and Markus Wheaton and first-year tight end Xavier Grimble.Somehow, it does not include rapidly developing Sammie Coates, who has at least one reception of 40 yards in each of Pittsburghs first four games.They have a lot of talent, a lot of matchup problems, Revis said.Not exactly good news for the leagues 26th ranked pass defense or its leader, who is dealing with hamstring issues and was dominated by Cincinnatis A.J. Green in a Week 1 loss to the Bengals.New York regaining its defensive swagger may be difficult against Pittsburgh as Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley experiments with his lineup now that star running back LeVeon Bell is back from a three-game suspension.All Bell did in his 2016 debut last week against Kansas City was put up 178 yards of total offense while lining up all over the field in a 43-14 clinic .Such are the options at his disposal that Roethlisberger is a little worried about Haley getting a bit too experimental, the NFL equivalent of first-world problems.We can be as creative as we want to be, Roethlisberger said. We just have to be careful not to get so out of the box, out of this world that it can get confusing to ourselves.You want to confuse the defense, but you also want to be able to play fast. And sometimes, just being black or white is better than being gray.Other things to look for as the Jets (1-3) try to slow down Roethlisberger and company in hopes of winning in Pittsburgh for just the second time in franchise history.FLUMMOXED FITZ: Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has struggled mightily in the past two games after a terrific performance at Buffalo, throwing nine interceptions combined in losses to Seattle and Kansas City. The previous time a Jets quarterback threw nine in a two-game span was Joe Namath in 1970. Of Fitzpatricks 10 interceptions on the season, eight of them have come in the fourth quarter.That has lots of fans and media wondering if the Jets should consider a quarterback change soon.For me, thats been my whole career, Fitzpatrick said of having doubters. Its not anything new for me. I just have to continue to prepare and try to be the best guy I can be every Sunday, whether thats coming off a good game or a bad game. Thats just something Ill continue to try and do.LINEMAN SHUFFLE: While Pittsburghs skill position players are nearly back at full strength, the offensive line is hurting. Right tackle Marcus Gilbert is out with an ankle injury and guard Ramon Foster is a game-time decision as he recovers from a bruised sternum. Chris Hubbard, a former practice squad player, may make his first NFL start in place of Gilbert but the Steelers have also experimented with other options in case of emergency, including having center Maurkice Pouncey moonlight at right tackle in practice just in case.We will have faith and trust, Roethlisberger said. At the same time we will not be ridiculous. If there are times we need to send help someones way, we will do it.MARSHALLS PLAN: Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall remains optimistic that the Jets will turn things around -- and maybe as soon as this weekend.Marshall was impressed by the teams mood during the week and isnt nearly ready to bail on the season.We will have better results, Marshall said. Thats a fact.DANCING WITH THE FLAGS: Twice this season Brown has drawn unsportsmanlike penalties for having his touchdown dances go a little too far for a referees liking. While Steelers coach Mike Tomlin isnt going to discourage the Dancing With The Stars alum from doing things his way, Tomlin would appreciate a little clarity from the NFL on what is -- and what is not -- taboo.Some guys are followed more closely than others, Tomlin said. ABs probably one of those guys and needs to respond accordingly.---AP Sports Writer Dennis Waszak in Florham Park, N.Y., contributed to this report.Paul Byron Canadiens Jersey . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium. Charles Hudon Canadiens Jersey . Zvonareva, who won the tournament in 2009 and 10, couldnt handle her opponents big groundstrokes in only her third event back after 17 months out with a shoulder injury. Zvonareva made her comeback in January in Shenzhen and played in the Australian Open but lost her first matches at both tournaments. http://www.canadienssale.com/authentic-charlie-lindgren-canadiens-jersey/ . - The Washington Redskins have cut defensive lineman Adam Carriker and punter Sav Rocca. Maurice Richard Canadiens Jersey . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. Jesperi Kotkaniemi Jersey . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break.BOULDER, Colo. -- A night game televised nationally on the conference network. Largest Folsom Field crowd expected in nearly five years. At least a share of the top spot in the Pac-12 South at stake.All just more signs that Colorado (4-2, 2-1 Pac-12) has its football program trending in the right direction as the Buffaloes host Arizona State (5-1, 2-1) on Saturday.Colorado is counting on plenty of Folsom Field clamor against a Sun Devils team thats 7-0 all-time against the Buffs and has outscored them by an average of 26 points. There could be more than 46,000 fans for this homecoming game in a stadium that should be much louder since the completion of the Champions Center on the northeast side to trap the noise.I love night games, and I think most of the guys on the team love night games, and that kind of atmosphere, Colorado receiver Bryce Bobo said. Were just trying to come out with a big win.Big wins have been rather rare for the Buffaloes since their last bowl appearance in 2007. This team, though, has been making strides all season, such as earning the Buffs first ranking in 11 years before falling out of the polls this week after a 21-17 loss to Southern California.The turnaround in Boulder has certainly caught the attention of Arizona State coach Todd Graham.Theyre a football team thats playing very hungry, Graham said. This team is capable of big plays and they have been playing very well at home. So, we need to go out there and find a way to win.Both teams enter the game with QB quandaries. The Buffs will decide between freshman Steven Montez and senior Sefo Liufau, whos dealing with a sprained ankle thats sidelined him for the last three games.The Sun Devils may have Manny Wilkins in the huddle again. He missed last weeks 23-20 win over UCLA with a leg injury. Theyre also preparing Dillon Sterling-Cole and Jack Smith with Brady White out for the season after suffering an injury against the Bruins.We dont really worry about (whos at quarterback). We worry about us, Colorado saafety Afolabi Laguda said.dddddddddddd We have to come out there and worry about filling our gaps right, covering the right people and making plays.Here are some other things to watch as the Sun Devils try to spoil Colorados homecoming:THE LOCAL KID: Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre had a simple answer for stopping the Sun Devils version of the Wildcat formation.Tackle No. 7, MacIntyre said.That would be Kalen Ballage, who the Buffaloes know very well after heavily recruiting the 6-foot-2, 227-pound running back from Peyton, Colorado. Ballage had eight total TDs in a game earlier this season against Texas Tech -- quite a few off direct snaps out of the formation they call Sparky.The main thing is No. 7. Hes pretty wicked, MacIntyre said.FOOT NOTE: The Sun Devils have one of the best kickers in the game in Zane Gonzalez, who connected on three field goals last weekend to become the NCAAs all-time leader. He has 89 career field goals, moving him by Florida States Dustin Hopkins, who had 88 from 2009-12. Gonzalez is nine points away from breaking Hopkins FBS record for career points (466) by a kicker.THIS & THAT: With a win, the Sun Devils would move to 6-1 for the second time in the past three seasons. Whats more, Graham would pick up win No. 40 at Arizona State.SEFOS NUMBERS: In three games against Arizona State, Liufau has thrown for 836 yards, which is the most versus one opponent in school history. Its one of 78 school marks that Liufau has either set or tied.ATTENDANCE SURGE: The Buffaloes are averaging 43,172 at home this season -- a figure sure to climb after this weekend. The last time Colorado averaged more than 40K was 2012.Its going to be a tough test for us here. Im glad were playing at Folsom, MacIntyre said. Our kids love playing at Folsom.---Online:College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Pat Graham at: https://twitter.com/pgraham34 ' ' '
