The Steelers looked a little bit flat last night as they saw there preseason record fall to 1-1.  You can’t blame the loss on Ben Roethlisberger who looked pretty sharp completing 9 of 11 passes for 142 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Byron Leftwich got his first action with the Steelers and he looked rusty completing 5 of 11 passes for 41 yards.  Rookie Dennis Dixon only completed 6 of 15 passes last night for 79 yards.  But he electrified Toronto with a 47-yard TD run as he finished the game with 54 yards rushing on 2 carries (27.0 ypc).  Rashard Mendenhall rushed for 30 yards on 11 carries (2.7 ypc) with a TD run but he didn’t look too good.  WR Dallas Baker led the way for the Steelers in the passing game with 3 catches for 57 yards (19.0 avg) last night.  Santonio Holmes caught 2 passes for 53 yards (26.5 avg) including a 40-yard TD grab from Ben Roethlisberger.  The Steelers finished up wth 108 yards rushing last night on 22 carries (4.9 ypc) and they also completed 20 of 37 passes for 230 yards.

The Steelers’ defense didn’t look too good last night as the Bills did whatever they wanted despite only putting up 263 total yards.  Linebacker Lawrence Timmons led the way last night for the Steelers with 7 tackles and a sack.  Fellow linebackers Larry Foote and Anthony Harrison each pitched in with 6 tackles apiece.  The Bills finished up with 159 yards rushing on 31 carries (5.1 ypc).  They also completed 14 of 18 passes for 104 yards with 2 TD passes to TE Robert Royal which shows that safety is once again an issue for the Steelers.
