Steelers' Lawrence Timmons tosses his cookies coming off the field

Before the Pittsburgh Steelers reversed their fortunes in the game, linebacker Lawrence Timmons had what the competitive-eating-circuit folks call a reversal of fortune.

Watch as Timmons, with his Steelers down 10-zip, barfs — on himself, on the field — coming off to the sidelines.

Well, watch, that is, if you don't get queasy watching such things. And let's note: We're not poking fun at Timmons. Vomiting during a football game is a scary matter because it could be indicative of a possible concussion.

Timmons was all over the place Monday night. He made three straight tackles and four tackles in the five plays right before he came off the field while getting sick. All told, Timmons finished with a game-high 12 tackles, a sack and two tackles for losses.

And the Steelers needed every one of them in a 30-23 win in which they came back from 13 points down.
