The Steelers pulled out a improbable win because of Ben Roethlisberger who hit rookie WR Mike Wallace with a 19 yard TD pass on the last play of the game!  It was a very interesting game as Roethlisberger opened the game on the first offensive play with a 60 yard bomb to rookie WR Mike Wallace for a TD and his only other catch of the day was on the final play of the game.  Ben Roethlisberger completed 29 of 46 passes for 503 yards with 3 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 7 yards.  Rashard Mendenhall pitched in with 38 yards rushing on 11 carries (3.5 ypc) with a TD run and he also caught 6 passes for 73 yards (12.2 avg.).  Hines Ward (7 rec, 126 yards) and Heath Miller (7 rec, 118 yards) led the way for the Steelers through the air.  Santonio Holmes (3 rec, 77 yards) and Mewelde Moore (3 rec, 25 yards, TD) also pitched in for the Steelers in the passing game yesterday.  The Steelers finished up with 537 total yards on offense (65 rushing, 472 passing) in this game.

The defense was awful for the Steelers yesterday.  CB William Gay led the Steelers with 6 tackles but he probably missed just as many and he was get burnt quite often in the passing game.  Casey Hampton pitched in with 5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1/2 a sack and 1 QB hit.  The Packers finished up with 436 total yards on offense despite only having the ball for 24:38 as the Steelers’ D sucked yesterday.  The Steelers are now 7-7 and they kept their playoffs hopes alive with this amazing victory.
