Time to get tough for Saturday's AFC wild-card game in Cincinnati.

| I would joke about Bryant reacting to his public flogging by Ben by thinking "I really could use a joint right now" but given his substance abuse problems Bryant probably is thinking that and it is no joking matter | |

| Yeah...but so does ben...and everybody else on the team. The level of play these last 2-3 weeks, isn't anywhere close to where it needs to be.
Hoping the extra chance the bills gave them, has reignited their flame. And that doesn't just mean to go for kill shots, getting into scrums after the whistle, and bitching loudly about the officials.
They have to play hard....but smart. _________________ Previously known as: Steel_Bus_24 Member of Steelers Fever forums since 06

| I wouldn't be surprised is Marty comes out and absolutely lights it up on Saturday. I have a feeling we will need a HUGE game from the wide receivers. _________________ Twitter: @SteelersYak

| Martavis Bryant to train in L.A., talk with counselor once a week this offseason
Feb 8, 2016 Jeremy Fowler ESPN Staff Writer
Martavis Bryant emerged as a core player for Pittsburgh's offense after returning from a four-game suspension for multiple failed NFL drug tests. He posted 765 yards with seven touchdowns in 11 regular-season games, followed by 267 playoff yards rushing and receiving in two games. Steelers quarterbacks targeted Bryant more than eight times per game.
The Steelers are hoping for a quiet offseason from Bryant, whose suspension dropped abruptly before the season opener in New England. The team wants Bryant to remain clean and productive.
For the start of the offseason, Bryant is spending time in Los Angeles. He's working with a trainer out there, according to his mother, Roberta. He'll spend part of the offseason in California while also returning to Pittsburgh and his home state of South Carolina at times.
Bryant is also talking with noted counselor John Lucas via phone once a week, Roberta said. Bryant worked with Lucas in Houston during his suspension. Lucas is a former NBA player who overcame addiction, and now he helps athletes with their problems.
When speaking with Steelers.com late last month, Bryant called the start of his 2015 season "rocky," but said he believed he matured throughout the year.
One example he cited was the challenge from Ben Roethlisberger to "toughen up" entering the playoffs after scoring zero touchdowns in his final four regular-season games.
"Everybody got used to me scoring touchdowns every game, and when I went through a span that I didn't score like three or four weeks straight, everybody was like, 'What is going on?'" Bryant said. "You can't score every game. You've got to do what you've got to do to help the team out, so I would say I learned how to keep myself motivated and just stay consistent."
