The Jaguars punched the Steelers in the mouth Sunday and the bleeding still hasn’t stopped.  The Jags were ballhogs like the Steelers usually are as they had control of the football for 37:39 of this football game.  That made things way too hard for the Steelers to overcome.  Ben Roethlisberger didn’t have his best game as he completed 16 of 33 passes for 146 yards with 3 TD passes.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 15 yards (7.5 ypc).  Willie Parker had a good game as he carried the ball 14 times for 100 yards (7.1 ypc).  Hines Ward (4 rec, 31 yards), Heath Miller (2 rec, 24 yards) and Nate Washington (1 rec, 30 yards) each caught a TD pass in this game.   The Steelers finished up with 111 yards rushing on 17 carries (6.5 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 33 passes for 106 yards.

Troy Polamalu and Larry Foote led the defense with 10 tackles apiece.  The Jags finished up with 224 yards rushing on 42 carries (5.3 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 33 passes for 197 yards.
