The Facts: Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette pointed out that Hines Ward watched Jericho Cotchery play ahead of him in three receiver sets today.

Diehards Line:With Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown starting, it's also worth noting that Emmanuel Sanders, who also plays ahead of Ward, was not active today. Even aside of last week's significant blow to the head that he took from Ray Lewis, Mike Florio from ProFootballTalk.com points out that Ward's knees look shot. It looks like the final curtain on his brilliant career is beginning to come down.
