Inconsistent Play

It's been a couple times now that the Pittsburgh Steelers have been heavily favored to win football games, and had to hold on at the end to pull out a victory. Well, the same thing happened this past week against the Jags. They were holding a 17-0 lead at half time, completely dominating on both sides of the ball, and ended up only winning the game 17-13. In the first half, Ben Rorthlisberger completed 11 of 18 passes for 181 yards and was not sacked once. In the second half he was 1 for 5 for 19 yards and was sacked 3 times. Big Ben played his consecutive game wearing a special shoe modified to protect his foot that he sprained in the fourth game of the season.. But. Ben has also thrown for at least 200 yards in 14 consecutive games. This team (still) needs to learn to finish games. They finally ran the ball efficiently last week with Rashard Mendenhall rushing for 146 yards and a touchdown. But, this team has the tendency to start feeling comfortable with a lead, then they begin to take their foot off of the gas. As Mike Wallace said earlier in the week when he was interviewed, " We need to keep are hands on their throat." The Steelers need to play a full game! They have been pretty consistent on defense despite the fact that four of their starters aren't even playing.Their pass defense is an NFL's best only allowing 157.7 passing yards a game. This week they travel to Arizona to play the Cards, and they look to put up big points since they left so many on the field last week. GO STEELERS...
