The Steelers snatched a win in the 4th quarter from the Browns.  The Steelers played awful for 3 quarters, but had an amazing final quarter to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.  Ben Roethlisberger completed 25 of 44 passes for 272 yards with 2 TDs and 3 INTs.  Ben also carried the ball 2 times for 20 yards.  Willie Parker carried the ball 16 times for 46 yards (2.9 ypc) and a TD.  He also caught 4 passes for 17 yards and a TD.  Hines Ward caught 7 passes for 81 yards.  Santonio Holmes caught 5 passes for 75 yards and a TD.

James Farrior had 12 tackles and a sack.  Joey Porter had 8 tackles and a 1/2 sack.  Troy Polamalu had 7 tackles and a 1/2 sack.  The Steelers allowed the Browns to rush for 99 yards on 29 carries (3.4 ypc).  The Browns completed 17 of 27 passes for 203 net yards passing.

The Steelers gave up a TD on offense and a kick-off return for a TD and should feel fortunate to pull out a victory over a bad Browns team on Sunday.
