0 Steelers hold their ground to play Chicago off the park! Posted by DieHardFans | at 12:08 AM

For the first time this season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have clinched a convincing away victory, after playing Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears off the park. Roethlisberger was the hero of the hour, throwing three touchdown passes toward the end of 3rd quarter. The Pittsburgh defence was just too good in the fourth, holding off the Detroit Lions for a 28-20 win Sunday. Corner back William James intercepted a bad ball, allowing him to create a damaging field goal in the second quarter.

The Detroit Lions had the chance to take the game in overtime in the fourth quarter against the defending Super Bowl champs. However, it wasn’t to be as the Steelers held it together, spurred on by thousands of black-and-gold clad fans chanted "DE-FENSE!"

Quarterback Dante Culpepper threw one interception and was sacked seven times, including three successive plays on the Lions’ final drive. But it was none other than the offensive line who helped Big Ben move around in the pocket and complete throws for big gains. The performance truly was reminiscent of their Super Bowl victory in 2006 at the same stadium.

0 Steelers Defeat Titans in Overtime Posted by DieHardFans | at 3:06 AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to wear the seventh ring on their finger with their defense-oriented game that was hard fought and well played.

The true strength of the Steelers was one-handed interception by Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu and Big Ben Roethlisberger, who proved his mastery of the two-minute no-huddle offense hooked up with receivers Santonio Holmes and Hines Ward. The fact that Steelers were on their home ground, did not help them much, as Titans did prove to be a good stone wall against Steelers running backs.

The Steelers tied the game with just over 2 minutes left in the game on a 32 yard field goal with 2:57 left on the clock. Pittsburgh won the toss in overtime and Roethlisberger moved the Steelers down the field on 3 pass completions setting up Jeff Reeds 32 yard game winning field goal. The win, however cost the Steelers defensive leader Troy Polamalu, as he suffered from a knee injury on a blocked field goal.

It seems that Steelers’ fans are not getting enough of customized Roethlisberger jerseys, bags and totes as more and more NFL fans are seen sporting bags and totes with number ‘7’.
