The Steelers got a taste of their own medicine today as the Texans bullied them.  Ben Roethlisberger was under intense heat the whole game as the Texans sacked him 5 times and drilled him quite a few more times.  Roethlisberger played another lousy game as he completed 16 of 30 passes for 206 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 11 yards (5.5 ypc) today.  Isaac Redman led the way on the ground for the Steelers today with 40 yards rushing on 6 carries (6.7 ypc).  Mewelde Moore (4 carries, 34 yards) and Rashard Mendenhall (9 carries, 25 yards, TD) also pitched in for the Steelers on the ground.  WRs Mike Wallace (4 rec, 77 yards) and Antonio Brown (5 rec, 67 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Steelers today.  The Steelers rushed for 118 yards on 22 carries (5.4 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 30 passes (53.3%) for 178 yards as they had possession of the ball for 28:17.

The Pittsburgh Steelers got lucky to get out of Indianapolis with a win last night as the Colts beat them up physically.  Ben Roethlisberger looked like a pinata in the backfield last night.  He somehow completed 25 of 37 passes for 364 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 5 times for 15 yards (3.0 ypc), but he was taking a lot of shots.  He lost two fumbles including one of them that was returned 47 yards for a TD by Colts’ DE Jamaal Anderson.  Rashard Mendenhall had a rough night as he carried the ball 18 times for 37 yards (2.1 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 9 yards (3.0 avg) in this game.  WR Mike Wallace led the way in the passing game for the Steelers last night with 5 grabs for 144 yards (28.8 avg) with 1 TD grab.  WR Antonio Brown (4 rec, 75 yards) and TE Heath Miller (5 rec, 71 yards) also had solid games for the Steelers in the passing game.  The Steelers rushed for only 67 yards on 28 carries (2.4 ypc) and they also completed 25 of 37 passes (67.6%) for 341 yards as they had possession of the ball for 33:58.

The Steelers got totally destroyed today in Baltimore.  They looked like Thiel trying to play at Penn State!  Ben Roethlisberger was really lousy today as the turned the ball over five times himself!  He completed 22 of 41 passes for 280 yards with 1 TD pass and 3 INTs.  He also lost 2 fumbles in this game.  Rashard Mendenhall was bottled up all day long by the Ravens’ D as he only carried the ball 12 times for 45 yards (3.8 ypc).  He also lost a fumble.  RB Mewelde Moore didn’t carry the ball today but he caught 2 passes for 30 yards (15.0 avg) while also losing a fumble.  WRs Mike Wallace (8 rec, 107 yards), Hines Ward (5 rec, 67 yards) and Emmanuel Sanders (2 rec, 20 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Steelers today.  The Steelers finished up with 66 yards rushing on 16 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 41 passes (53.7%) for 246 yards as they had possession of the ball for 27:29.

The defense was lousy today for the Steelers as the Ravens pushed them around both on the ground and through the air.  The Steelers only had 1 sack today as Joe Flacco had a lot of time to throw.  LB Lawrence Timmons (12 tackles), LB James Harrison (9 tackles and 1 QB hit) and safety Troy Polamalu (6 tackles) led the way on D for the Steelers.  The Ravens finished up with 170 yards rushing on 31 carries (5.5 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 29 passes (58.6%) for 215 yards in this game.  The Steelers start the 2011 season with a 0-1 record.

The Steelers never led in this game as they kept making huge mistakes on offense while their defense couldn’t stop the Packers offense!  Ben Roethlisberger had another sub par Super Bowl making that 2 out of 3 for him in his career.  He completed 25 of 40 passes for 263 yards with 2 TD passes and 2 INTs (one of his INTs was returned 37 yards for a TD by Packers’ safety Nick Collins).  He also carried the ball 4 times for 31 yards (7.8 ypc) tonight.  Rashard Mendenhall led the way on the ground for the Steelers in this game with 63 yards rushing on 14 carries (4.5 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also lost a key fumble in the second half which the Packers wound up eventually scoring on.  Isaac Redman (2 carries for 19 yards) and Mewelde Moore (3 carries for 13 yards) also helped out for the Steelers on the ground tonight.  WRs Mike Wallace (9 rec, 89 yards, TD) and Hines Ward (7 rec, 78 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Steelers tonight.  The Steelers finished up with 126 yards rushing on 23 carries (5.5 ypc) and they completed 25 of 40 passes for 261 yards.

Safety Ryan Clark (8 tackles) and CBs Ike Taylor (5 tackles) & Bryant McFadden (4 tackles) led a very, very poor effort by the Steelers’ defense.  They couldn’t get to Aaron Rodgers who carved up their secondary.  The Packers finished up with 50 yards rushing on 13 carries (3.8 ypc) and they also completed 24 of 39 passes for 288 yards!  The Steelers’ season ended with a thud in Dallas as they were beaten by a better team.

The Steelers rushed out to a 24-0 lead in the first half before having to hold on for dear life to win this game!  Ben Roethlisberger was pathetic last night as he completed 10 of 19 passes for 133 yards with 0 TD passes and 2 INTs.  He also carried the ball 11 times for 21 yards (1.9 ypc) with a TD run.  Rashard Mendenhall’s running is the big reason for the Steelers win yesterday.  He carried the ball 27 times for 121 yards (4.5 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 2 passes for 32 yards.  Isaac Redman pitched in with 27 yards rushing on 4 carries (6.8 ypc) last night.  TE Heath Miller (2 rec, 38 yards) led the way for the Steelers in the passing game.  For the second week in a row, rookie WR Antonio Brown caught the game winning pass.  He only caught 1 pass for 14 yards in this game but it was the biggest one.  The Steelers finished up with 166 yards rushing on 43 carries (3.9 ypc) and they also completed 10 of 19 passes for 121 yards as they had possession of the football for 34:41.

The Steelers’ D was outstanding in the first half and pretty awful in the second half of this game.  LBs Lawrence Timmons (10 tackles, 1 pass defensed) and James Farrior (8 tackles) led the way for the Steelers’ D in this game.  CBs Ike Taylor and William Gay combined for the biggest play on the D yesterday.  Taylor sacked Mark Sanchez which forced a fumble that William Gay picked up and returned 19 yards for a TD to put the Steelers up 24-0 at the time.  The Jets finished up with 70 yards rushing on 22 carries (3.2 ypc) and they also completed 20 of 33 passes for 219 yards. 

The Steelers will meet the Green Bay Packers in Dallas in two weeks in the Super Bowl!

The Pittsburgh Steelers won this game with defense!  LB Lawrence Timmons (9 tackles) and James Harrison (7 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 3 sacks, 2 passes defensed and 2 QB hits) led the way for the Steelers’ D in this game.  Safety Ryan Clark also had a big game with 5 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception.  OLB LaMarr Woodley (fumble recovery) and DE Brett Keisel (fumble recovery) also had big plays in this game for the Steelers.  The Ravens finished up with 35 yards rushing on 18 carries (1.9 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 30 passes for 91 yards!

Ben Roethlisberger was getting beat up this whole game as he was sacked 6 times and hit many more.  But, to his credit he kept getting up and making tough throws.  He completed 19 of 32 passes for 226 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 INTs in this game.  Rashard Mendenhall had to earn every yard he got as he rushed for only 46 yards on 20 carries (2.3 ypc) but he did have 2 TD runs.  Mewelde Moore pitched in with 12 yards rushing on 2 carries (6.0 ypc) in this game.  Rookie WR Antonio Brown led the way for the Steelers in the passing game with 3 receptions for 75 yards (25.0 avg) including a acrobatic catch late in the 4th quarter that set up the game winning TD.  WR Emmanuel Sanders (4 rec, 54 yards), TE Heath Miller (5 rec, 39 yards, TD) and WR Hines Ward (3 rec, 25 yards, TD) also had decent games for the Steelers yesterday.  The Steelers finished up with 71 yards rushing on 31 carries (2.3 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 32 passes for 192 yards as they had possession of the football for 34:28. 

The Steelers will play in the AFC Championship Game next weekend either at home against the New York Jets or more than likely at Foxboro against the New England Patriots.
