Notes
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Plaxico Burress said he believes he can be a factor in the red zone because of his size. 'I know I can still play, I know I can dominate in the red zone,' Burress said. 'Just go out and play at a high percentage. In those one-on-one opportunities, just succeed at a high rate. I know I can. Being out there last year, I drew double coverage in the red zone without hardly playing, I think teams will have to respect that.'

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Plaxico Burress is not expected to be active for the team's Week 14 game with WR Jerricho Cotchery (rib) returning from a rib injury. Burress said he would not be a distraction if he does not play. 'Like I told the guys upstairs, I am willing to go out and fulfill whatever role is presented to me, and I stand by that,' Burress said. 'Whenever they put me in the game, I want to answer the call.' Burress has yet to make a catch since joining the team. He's been targeted only two times and has played only 12 of 132 snaps.
