The Steelers -- battered, bruised and unbowed -- ran out to a big lead and beat the Tennessee Titans at Heinz Field today, 38-17.
Ben Roethlisberger, playing with a special shoe to protect his sprained left foot, threw five touchdown passes to tie the team record again. He has done it twice, and Terry Bradshaw and Mark Malone once each.
Hines Ward caught two touchdown passes of 7 and 5 yards. Heath Miller caught an 8-yard touchdown pass, and David Johnson caught a 1-yard scoring pass. Mike Wallace caught the final one of 40 yards with 2:39 left. Roethlisberger and Wallace have now hooked up on 10 touchdown passes of 40 or more, stretching their team record.
Backup halfback Jonathan Dwyer, playing only because of injuries to Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore, already had 100 yards on five carries by the end of the third quarter and finished with 107 yards on 11 carries.
The Steelers and Tennessee are both 3-2. (continue)
