The Steelers again fed on an inferior opponent this week as they punished the Bills last Sunday.  The Steelers used their usual playing style as they ran the football and played excellent defense to win the game with ease.  Ben Roethlisberger completed 21 of 34 passes for 242 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Willie Parker was outstanding again as he carried the ball 23 times for 126 yards (5.5 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Backup RB Najeh Davenport was also outstanding with 6 carries for 46 yards (7.7 ypc) on Sunday.  Hines Ward (5 rec, 55 yards) and Santonio Holmes (3 rec, 53 yards) both had solid games and rookie TE Matt Spaeth caught a TD pass for the 2nd consecutive game to start his career.  The Steelers finished up with 184 yards rushing on 33 carries (5.6 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 34 passes for 236 yards.

Linebacker James Farrior led an inspired effort by the Steelers’ defense as he had 10 tackles.  The Bills rushed for 102 yards on 22 carries (4.6 ypc) and they completed 15 of 25 passes for 121 yards.  The Bills only had possession of the football for 24:33 of this football game as they couldn’t sustain any drives against the stout Steelers’ defense.
