All right, there have been prettier wins. Fortunately, this is Pittsburgh and I don't think anyone cares about being pretty as long as they get it done in the end. Last week, the defense didn't make the plays it had to at the end of the game to win. This week, they did. The defense looked old a couple of times during the game, but they got the late turnover to put the game back in the offense's hands. Speaking of that, the offense struggled at times against a surpisingly apt Cincinnati defense but ground out the first downs to seal the win in the end. Great teams make the plays they need to. The Steelers did exactly that. Jump, bros.

What a difference a week makes. The Steelers limped out of Heinz Field after losing to the Baltimore Ravens for the second time this season in heartbreaking fashion, knowing they faced a two-game deficit in the AFC North and what approached a must-win game in Cincinnnati.

The Steelers pulled out a win versus the Bengals today to take a 7-3 record in to the bye week. The Steelers will be no worse then second in the AFC North and most likely no worse then 3rd in the AFC. The Steelers look to be in good position on the way to the playoffs. Here is what I saw in today’s game.

Ward isn’t going that route. “It’s not about me, it’s about the team,” Ward said via Scott Brown of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.…

Green caught the pass between Steelers safeties Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu but came down straight legged as he made the catch.
