There is a certain swagger required to play cornerback in the NFL Youth Trace McSorley Jersey , a quality Artie Burns picked up long before the Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the first round of the 2016 draft.And for the first time Burns can remember, that swagger is gone, lost amid a barrage of blown coverages and missed opportunities that have temporarily cost him his starting job.Penciled in as a shutdown corner for the next decade after a solid rookie season, the mild slide Burns experienced in 2017 has extended into something far more troubling three weeks into his third year in the league."I don't feel like I'm really confident now," Burns said. "I've got to get back to the basics and make the plays I know I can make. Nothing spectacular. Just getting roasted every play."Maybe not every play, but it certainly feels like it to Burns, who is currently sharing time with Coty Sensabaugh and Cam Sutton for the Steelers (1-1-1).All three expect to be tested early and often on Sunday night when the Baltimore Ravens (2-1) and revitalized quarterback Joe Flacco visit Heinz Field.And why not?Pittsburgh's pass defense is among the league's worst through three weeks. The Steelers have allowed 15 pass plays of 20 yards or more and their 10 passing touchdowns given up are tied with New Orleans for the most in the NFL.Though there's plenty of blame to go around 鈥?from a pass rush that has fluctuated between dominant and nonexistent to veteran cornerback Joe Haden's hamstring injury that forced him to watch Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes carve up the Steelers in Week 2 鈥?Burns' struggles have been perhaps the most visible.The thoughtful, soft-spoken 23-year-old looks tentative at times and overmatched at others.During Monday night's victory over Tampa Bay, he found himself futilely clutching at Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans while Evans hauled in a 51-yard pass.It's those plays 鈥?and not the exquisitely timed hit that forced a Tampa Bay fumble during Pittsburgh's game-turning second quarter 鈥?that linger with Burns."Every time I expect to make a play on the ball," he said. "I don't care who it is or what the situation is. I'm supposed to make that play. That's the standard they hold me to."A standard Burns knows he is not meeting. Then again, neither are his teammates. Like Burns White Brandon Williams Jersey , Sensabaugh and Sutton have struggled to distinguish themselves and coach Mike Tomlin plans to continue to use all three in a rotation until the steady stream of big plays allowed stops.Sensabaugh, however, is a journeyman of sorts. Pittsburgh is his fourth stop since 2015. Sutton is basically a rookie after injuries limited him to five games last season.Burns by comparison became the first cornerback the Steelers selected in the opening round of the draft in nearly 20 years when they grabbed him with the 25th overall pick in 2016.The early returns were promising. He quickly played his way into the starting lineup and when Pittsburgh traded for Haden at the end of training camp last summer it appeared the Steelers had the kind of fast, physical corners they'd been searching for since Ike Taylor's retirement in the spring 2015.Burns remains plenty fast but admits he's regressed. Haden, who has developed a close friendship with Burns over the past 13 months, said Burns is "doing everything he can" to get it fixed. He's watching tape. He's focusing on the fundamentals. At some point, both Burns and Haden believe that work will translate on the field.Burns is hardly the first player to have playing time taken away early in his career. Taylor already had a Super Bowl ring when he was benched in 2006. Steelers All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown took two-plus years to fully morph from sixth-round project to starter.Yet this is the first time in Burns' football life he can remember being told to take a seat."I'm not used to this, personally," he said.How long will it last depends on when 鈥?or if 鈥?Burns can regain his form and his swagger. Haden is eager to do what he can, but understands some lessons need to be learned on their own."He's been playing corner for a long time too," Haden said. "I'll try to help him out with it too. But Artie knows what's up."NOTES: WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (abdomen) Marquise Brown Baltimore Ravens Jersey , CB Mike Hilton (elbow) and S Morgan Burnett (groin) were limited in practice on Thursday. ... G David DeCastro was a full participant for the first time since fracturing his right hand in Week 1 against Cleveland. RT Marcus Gilbert (hamstring) and LG Ramon Foster (coach's decision) were also full-go on Thursday. It was an eventful opening Sunday for the AFC North. The Ravens dominated the Bills and earned a 47-3 victory. Cincinnati outlasted the Colts to move to 1-0. The Steelers and Browns, in the first divisional matchup of the year, ended in a 21-21 tie. Cleveland continues to search for their first victory since 2016. Ravens defeat Buffalo Bills: 47-3 Dynamic passing attackBaltimore was easily the most impressive team from the division in Week 1, and perhaps the entire league. They dominated the Bills on both sides of the ball, holding them to only a field goal in four quarters while scoring a whopping 47 points of their own. Led by Joe Flacco, the Ravens passing attack was decisive. Seven different receivers caught at least three passes, highlighted by Willie Snead IV, John Brown and Michael Crabtree - all of which caught touchdown passes. The tight ends were also involved early and often. Nick Boyle got the start and secured three catches for 40 yards on the opening drive. Maxx Williams and Mark Andrews each caught three passes as well. It was a balanced attack across the board, an encouraging sign for the Ravens’ retooled crop of offensive playmakers.Sound defensive play The defense did not miss a beat, continuing their impressive play from the preseason. They held the Bills to just 153 total yards of offense. Four different players recorded sacks, including two from cornerback Tavon Young. As a team Cheap Marquise Brown Jersey , the Ravens recorded six sacks. They also snagged two interceptions; one from Tony Jefferson and the other from Brandon Carr. Buffalo recorded just 10 first downs on the day, all of which came in the second half. The Bills also converted just three of 15 third-down conversions. C.J Mosley, Maurice Canady and Za’Darius Smith tied for the team-lead in tackles with five a piece. Bengals defeat Colts: 34-23Joe Mixon’s impressive performance Sophomore running back Joe Mixon, who many believe could take a significant leap this season, got off to a strong start in 2018. Albeit it came against the Colts porous rush defense, Mixon rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. Mixon also made an impact as a receiver, catching five passes for 54 yards. Giovanni Bernard was expected to play a significant role in the backfield this season, but if Sunday was any indication, Mixon will occupy a workhorse role this year. Bernard was given just two carries and caught his only target for 11 yards. It was an overall impressive outing for the second-year Oklahoma product. Big fourth quarter erases deficit The Bengals entered the fourth quarter down 23-17, but shut out the Colts in the final frame while scoring 17 unanswered points. A Joe Mixon touchdown run at the goal line capped off a seven-play, 55 yard drive midway through the fourth put the Bengals up 24-23. A field goal on the next drive made extended the lead to four points. Andrew Luck looked primed to lead a game-winning drive. However Marquise Brown Baltimore Ravens Jersey , with just under a minute left, tight end Jack Doyle fumbled the ball after recording a catch over the middle of the field. Safety Clayton Fejedelem returned the fumble 83 yards for a touchdown. Steelers and Browns tie: 21-21 Life without Le’Veon Bell In the first game without All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell, the Steelers offense largely did not miss a beat. Second-year back James Connor, who got the start in place of Bell, produced a big performance. Connor rushed for 135 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries. He also caught 5 catches for 57 yards. Antonio Brown was his usual self, catching 9 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown. JuJu Smith-Schuster also had a productive day, recording 119 receiving yards. While he threw for 335 yards, Roethlisberger was extremely careless with the ball. He threw three interceptions and lost two fumbles, which proved costly. Several Pittsburgh drives were thwarted by Roethlisberger turnovers, leaving points off the board. New-look Browns show improvement Although they ultimately failed to earn a victory, the Browns came close to pulling off a significant upset. If not for a blocked field goal attempt at the end of overtime Youth Marquise Brown Jersey , Cleveland would be 1-0. Regardless, they showed promise. Tyrod Taylor had an up-and-down debut, evidenced by his 15/40 passing and costly interception at the end of the fourth quarter. However, he ultimately made some throws put the Browns in a position to win.Taylor led the Browns in rushing yards with 77 on just eight carries. Jarvis Landry caught seven passes for 106 yards, leading the receiving corps with Josh Gordon on a limited snap count. Myles Garrett recorded six tackles and two sacks on defense.
