First half highlights:

The first quarter of this game was a festival of punts. Neither team managed to get points on the board. In the second quarter, Vinatieri scored the first points of the game with a big 51 yard field goal. Colts 3-0 at that moment. Addai increased that lead with a 5 yard touchdown run and the Colts took a 10-0 lead heading into the locker room.

Second half highlights:

The second half of this game was a boring one with only 3 points scored, once again by Vinatieri. The Steelers were shut down by the Colts defense and the Steelers managed to contain Manning to only 98 yards. The Steelers offense was awful today and let's hope they'll get themself going against the Texans next week.

First half highlights:

The Steelers played against a banged up Texans team especially at the quarterback position. Matt Schaub, Jake Delhomme, Matt Leinart were all injured and that forced the Texans to sign UFA QB Todd Bowman who is 39 years old. What hurt them even more is that, in this game, Andre Johnson, their start wide receiver, got hurt and was forced to miss the remaining of the game. Suisham kicked a field goal in the 2nd quarter and Lawrence Timmons brought a fumble back into the endzone to give his team a 10-0 lead heading to halftime.

Second half highlights:

The Steelers secured the win in the third quarter with another Suisham field goal, this time a 39 yard one. Derrick Ward scored the only points for the Texans. Late in the fourth quarter, he scored on a 4 yard run and thanks to him the Texans were not blanked. One team had to win this one, the Steelers did and are now 1-3 while the Texans are having an awful season start with a 0-4 record.

TE	H.Miller	Partial Groin Tear - 1 week
LE	A.Smith	Torn Hamstring - 1 week
LOLB	B.Atkins	Torn Quadricep - 2 weeks

It's very tough for Ben Roethlisberger to play without is starting tight end and friend Heath Miller. "Heath's been a big part of our offense for the last couple of years, of course it's tough playing without him but hey John Gilmore is a good player." said Big Ben in an interview.

Mike Tomlin saw the bright side of this injury report. "Hey, take a look at the other teams in the league. We've been fortunate to only have 3-4 guys on the injured list. So far so good, i'm keeping my fingers crossed." said the Steelers head coach.

First half highlights:

The Steelers got on the board quickly in this one on a big pass by Big Ben to his favorite target this year, Hines Ward. They hooked on a 83 yard pass for the touchdown. The Titans evened up the score with a touchdown on a interception return. Big Ben's 11th interception of the season already. The Steelers opened up the machine in the 2nd quarter scoring 17 points. Timmons scored his second touchdown of the season on a 46 yard fumble return. Steelers were leading 24-10 at the halftime mark.

Second half highlights:

Pittsburgh played a conservative 2nd half. The Steelers managed to injure Chris Johnson and Big Ben almost had a 300 passing yards day to beat the Titans at home. Hasselbeck had a terrible day while Ringer, Johnson's replacement, had an okay day. Hines Ward was the player of the game with 2 touchdown catches and 135 yards. Steelers are now 2-3 and are finding their way back to success.
