Does anyone know if the game is televised? It would be great to see Dennis start.

Seattle-Denver and Pittsburgh-Washington are on. So we get to see Dixon, Harris, Reed, Kent, and Unger tonight.

Not too bad so far, good touch on most of his passes, a couple of situations where he showed nice awareness getting out of the pocket and out of trouble and completing the pass and nice 17 yard run and slide to avoid a hit.

I wish the coaches would let Dixon throw more, he has been handing the ball off a lot. I would also like to see him get to run more......he could gain some good yard on a draw play or something.

Thanks for the reminder guys.
Looks like both games are on NFL network. Pitt vs. Wash is already going! The second half just started and Dixon is in. Anybody know if he was playing in the first half at all?

The Pittsburgh offensive coordinator has said he is not in favor of designing plays for Dixon to run very often. His quote was....."Dennis would get broken in half."

I agree it wouldn't make much sense for him to run too often but the first series of the 2nd half they ran three straight up the middle run plays and on 3rd and 1 didn't convert. In situations like that you should take advantage of an athletic QB

He played 2 series and was 6 for 9 for 41 yards and had a 17 yard scramble
