Celeb Babe of the Game

Susan Ward

Mendenhall broke a 50 yarder to put it away. It wasn't pretty, but it was Steeler's football. Terry Bradshaw and the rest of the pre game show crew thought the Steelers would go 2-2 or 1-3 without Big has Ben. Next up Tennessee who crushed the raida's today.

Dixon looked okay out there, he connected on a long pass play once with Wallace, but the receiver that he looked to go to the most was Hines Ward, Ward had a nice game especially late. Starks went down with a bad looking ankle injury, so he will probably be out against the Titans.

It was good to see number 43 out there on the defensive side of the ball again, he came up with a great interception towards the end of regulation.
