Quote:

David M I saw alot of things I liked in this game, some I didn't. First off, the defense did a hell of a job once again. They had their best match this season limiting the Jets offense to only 7 points. Some may point to the lack of talent on the Jets squad but the fact that these people are in the NFL means they have alot of talent so I disregard that. Our offense was a bit off today. We managed only 19 points where as we averaged over 35 points in our first 4 matches. Now were getting ready for the game next week against the Ravens.

Mike Tomlin Strong game from the defense, we can confidently say we have the best in the NFL. Our offense, which is usually efficient, had a bit of a problem against the Ravens defense but they are famous for a reason. Ben was picked off twice while we couldn't really generate all that much in terms of yards. Sanders and Brown are proving to be one of the greatest duo's in the NFL, I think approaching the level of Roddy White and Julio Jones.
