Steelers’ Colon settling into guard role

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Willie Colon emerged from Sunday’s win in Cincinnati down more than one of his signature dreadlocks. At least he was unofficially awarded a takedown for a post-whistle body slam of Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict.

It was Colon’s kind of game, the perfect coming-out party for the Steelers offensive lineman continuing to settle in to his new position at guard.

“He had controlled violence last week,” said Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Colon, for his part, laughs off the “violence” descriptor.

“Controlled chaos,” Colon corrects. “That’s my type of play.”
