The Steelers won a track meet on Sunday with the Saints.  Ben Roethlisberger looked good today completing 17 of 28 passes for 264 yards and 3 TDs.  Willie Parker dominated the second half of this football game and had 22 carries for 213 yards (9.7 ypc) and 2 TDs.  Hines Ward had a solid game with 5 catches for 86 yards and a TD.  Santonio Holmes (2 rec, 57 yards), Cedric Wilson (2 rec, 47 yards, TD) and Heath Miller (3 rec, 30 yards, TD) each helped out in the passing game.

The Steelers were absolutely horrible on defense allowing the Saints to carry the ball 29 times for 124 yards (4.3 ypc).  The Saints tortured the Steelers secondary, completing 31 of 47 passes for 393 net yards passing.

This was a big win for the Steelers, because a loss would have ended their season.
