PITTSBURGH, Pa.
Sam Steel Ducks Jersey . - Brett Keisels
locker at Heinz Field was already empty when his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates
filed in following a 35-32 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.Theres no telling when,
or if, the veteran defensive end will find his No. 99 jersey hanging in it
again.The Steelers placed the 36-year-old on season-ending injured reserve
Monday, about 24 hours after Keisel tore his triceps in the third
quarter.Pittsburgh signed well-travelled Clifton Geathers to take Keisels spot
on the 53-man roster, but Keisels departure leaves an emotional void that will
be difficult for his enigmatic team to fill heading into a pressure-packed
December.He gives leadership, cornerback William Gay said. Hes a guy that you
know is going to fight to the end. He gave it everything he had. We want to
fight for all individuals, but a guy that represents the Steelers, thats Brett
Keisel. We have to keep fighting and we have to keep fighting for him.Keisel
angrily paced the sideline after walking off the field in obvious pain. He waved
off longtime trainer John Norwig and spent several minutes by himself before
hugging a handful of teammates and disappearing down the tunnel, perhaps for
good.The 13-year veteran had 17 tackles and a sack in 12 games following an
abrupt return in August. The Steelers initially opted not to re-sign Keisel when
his contract expired after the 2013 season, but reached out when they couldnt
find anyone to play opposite Cam Heyward.Keisels steadying presence provided
some semblance of stability during an uneven year. Pittsburgh fell to 7-5 after
losing to the Saints, its third loss this season to a team at least three games
under-.500 at the time. He remained a force despite his age and nearly sacked
Drew Brees in the first quarter of what could be the final game of his career.It
almost makes you want to cry when you lose a guy like that because hes a leader
and so instrumental to what we do here, safety Mike Mitchell said. Weve got to
rally around everyone else who is healthy.Its a group that now includes
Geathers. Pittsburgh is Geathers sixth stop in five seasons. He had four tackles
in six games with Washington earlier this year and now finds himself part of a
unit that is struggling to create any kind of consistent pressure on the
quarterback.Pittsburgh only got to Brees once on Sunday and failed to produce a
turnover while Brees tossed five touchdown passes. New Orleans led by 19 points
in the fourth quarter before a pair of late scores made the result look
respectable.Not exactly the kind of performance the Steelers (7-5) anticipated
coming off a bye week with a pivotal road game looming at first-place Cincinnati
(8-3-1) on Sunday.Now they must find a way to press on without one of the most
respected and popular players on a roster with only a handful of holdovers from
the franchises most recent Super Bowl victory.Were in control of what happens
from here on out, Mitchell said. Weve got to all rally together. Weve got to get
better. Its not so much talking about it. Now weve got to go do it.On both sides
of the ball. While Pittsburghs defence couldnt contain Brees, the offence kicked
field goals when only touchdowns would do. Four drives stalled inside the New
Orleans 35.That hadnt been an issue during a stretch where the Steelers went 4-1
to climb into the thick of the post-season chase.It reappeared against the NFLs
27th-ranked defence even on a day running back LeVeon Bell became just the sixth
player in league history to go over 150 yards receiving and 75 yards rushing in
the same game.Youve got to score points, Bell said. We didnt do that in the
third and fourth quarter.Not when it mattered. The Steelers dominated the first
20 minutes, but couldnt finish drives in the end zone. The Saints steadied
themselves in the second quarter and reeled off five touchdowns in a span of six
possessions.While the Steelers are tired of explaining away poor performances,
they have been resilient. They were waxed in Cleveland in early October and
responded with three straight resounding wins. Do it again on Sunday against the
Bengals and theyre right back in it.We cant look around us, linebacker Jason
Worilds said. Thats the biggest thing. We have to focus on the task at hand. The
task at hand is our next opponent. We do that, well be fine.___AP NFL website:

Nasris 88th-minute equalizer at Etihad Stadium will be of little consolation to
City, which is now six points behind league leader Liverpool and four points
behind second-place Chelsea. Third-place City has a game in hand but the
surprise result against Sunderland, coupled with Sundays 3-2 loss at Liverpool,
may be a setback too far in its bid for a second championship in three
seasons.CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Canada moved one step closer to the 2015 Rugby World
Cup in England with a 27-9 victory over the United States in the qualifying
