They were already trying to count us out

The depth of this team was seriously underestimated by the media this week. In spite of sidelining injury to 3 star players we came through like the premiere team we are.

We showed versatility in the running game; the combination of Tomlin's patience and alternating between the different running styles of Parker and Davenport took a lot of pressure off of Big Ben.  

Speaking of Ben, he displayed a level of sensibility in the passing game which has a habit of coinciding with a win. Again I think this was thanks to a consistent running game that he was able to stay cool in the second half, but it wasn't too long ago I remember a certain Quarterback (rhymes with Yothlsnerder) who would have been throwing rotten tomatoes by the end of the second half.

great point on depth
I think the fact we played without our top two recievers and Ben still only had 4 encompletions should be very incouraging to Steeler's fans.  

41 rushes for 163 yards -- what a time for the running game to dominate.
