Steelers right back in mix after drubbing Redskins

Posted October 29, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Mike Tomlin,  Todd Haley,  Ben Roethlisberger,  Max Starks,  Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers,  Washington Redskins,  Kansas City Chiefs,  New York Giants
The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing so well at the moment, even Mike Tomlin is getting optimistic. The typically gruff coach allowed his team is heading in the right direction after a relatively easy 27-12 win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday. The Steelers held explosive rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III in check and limited the NFL's top rushing team to a season-low 86 yards. The offense continued to thrive under new coordinator Todd Haley. Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger tossed three touchdown passes and wasn't sacked for the second time this season. Tackle Max Starks says the Steelers (4-3) have stopped digging a hole for themselves and started laying a foundation for a successful season. Pittsburgh will look for its third straight win next weekend against the Super Bowl champion New York Giants. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

It may seem like a decade ago, but it really was just this past summer and entire preseason where Pittsburgh Steelers’ wideout Mike Wallace sat out in a contract dispute with the team.

Roethlisberger reaping benefits of the “dink and dunk” Steelers offense

Via SteelerAddicts  |  October 30, 2012
It’s funny how controversial this term, “dink and dunk” can be when it comes to football these days. It’s not that there is anything wrong with it, at least I don’t think so because the ultimate goal in professional sports is to win no matter what. If it’s short passing; fine, if it’s going deep … Continue reading »

P.S. Am I the...
