Ben Roethlisberger screwed up early in this game throwing a 72-yard pick six to his personal kryptonite in CB Rashean Mathis but after that he played very well.  He completed 26 of 41 passes for 309 yards with 3 TD passes and 1 interception despite taking some more big hits.  He’s probably very happy that the Steelers have a bye this week so he can lick his wounds a little bit.  Mewelde Moore got the start at running back and he had a really solid game rushing for 99 yards on 17 carries (5.9 ypc) and catching 3 passes for 17 yards (5.7 avg).  Nate Washington (6 rec, 94 yards), Hines Ward (7 rec, 90 yards) and Heath Miller (5 rec, 45 yards) each had one TD grab apiece with Ward’s being the eventual game winner.  The Steelers finished up this game with 129 yards rushing on 26 carries (5.0 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 41 passes for 286 yards.

Linebacker LaMarr Woodley led a spirited effort for the Steelers’ defense last Sunday Night as he finished with 6 tackles and two sacks.  The Steelers held the Jaguars to only 38 yards rushing on 19 carries (2.0 ypc) and they completed 18 of 32 passes for 175 yards.  The Steelers are now 4-1 on the season and they are sitting atop the AFC North.
