Steelers Roll Titans

Hey All,

The Pittsburgh Steelers had one great day against the Titans Sunday winning the by the score of 38-17. One of the key factors, in my mind, was that defense playing like everyone knows and loves. They just down the stud Chris Johnson, who just couldn't get anything going since the opening drive where he got 22 yards on one carry. It seems to me that the defense realized that they had to get it done because of how banged up the offensive line is for the Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger looked good, and the line protected him all game long. Ben was 24-34 for 228 yards, 5 TD's, and only 1 INT. The INT shouldn't even have happened, it was at the end of the half and was just a little miss communication between Ben and his receiver, but it didn't matter. Surprisingly a man who hasn't seem that much time at running-back Dwyer had 11 touches for 107 yards, and he wasn't even the starter. Another runner for the Steelers Redman, getting his first start, touched the ball 15 times for 49 yards, which for him is a good day. Redman isn't that breakout running who's going to cut it back and run it up and beat you with his speed. He's the type of runner who is going to go through you, he doesn't get taken down by the wimpy arm tackles. One other stat that surprises me is that the Steelers only punted one time, Sepulveda only had one punt for 48 yards. Sepulveda did have one pass on a fake punt which was taken for 30 yards. All in all the Steelers played good and looked good all game long. If they can keep this up, I think they will turn this season around, and make it into a winning one. They just need to stay healthy, protect Big Ben, and play shut down D and the season will look good for them.
