The Pittsburgh Steelers got back to their old ways this Past Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. With a banged up quarterback, a patched up offensive line, and a defense full of key injuries, the Steelers took care of business. The defense was missing former defensive player of the year (James Harrison), and defensive linemen Casey Hampton, and Aaron Smith, and the defense still had 3 sacks on the quarterback and held star running back Chris Johnson to 51 yards on 14 carries.
The Steelers offense was missing running back Rashard Mendenhall, but still managed to get 156 yards on the ground with running back duo Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer. QB Ben Roethlisberger through for a franchise record 5 touchdowns and tying his own personal record as well. Ben was playing with a sprained left foot and played like a warrior. It seems like the more this guy is banged up the better he plays. The offensive line has been struggling so they brought back left tackle Max Starks and he did a great job on 2 days of practice. The O-line only gave up one sack and Ben Roethlisberger was barely touched.
Overall the Steelers played a near flawless game but can always get better. The Steelers are starting to look like the AFC champions from last year. The Steelers have another upcoming home me this Sunday, and hopefully they can build off of this momentum and keep playing Steelers
football...
