The Pittsburgh Steelers wore throw back uniforms in Sunday’s win over the Washington Redskins. Much of the attention about this game was given to the match-up between Robert Griffin III and the Steelers defense. When the game was played Dick Lebeau used his 53 years of experience to frustrate the Redskins offense.
Ben Rothlisberger connected with Leonard Pope for an early touchdown and the Steelers added three more points on a field goal by Shaun Suisham.The Redskins countered with a touchdown pass from Griffin to Santana Moss.
The Steelers would score ten more points in the second quarter courtesy of a touchdown pass from Rothlisberger to Heath Miller and another field goal by Suisham. The Steelers carried a 20-6 lead into halftime and never looked back.
Kai Forbath connected with two second half field goals for the Redskins but the inability to find the end-zone was their fault. Pittsburgh added another seven points on a touchdown pass to Will Johnson.

It may not be a good idea to put the already-fragile future of your franchise in compromising situations against a defense known to be head hunters. The Redskins learned the hard way.

By now you all should be well aware of the record that Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau has against rookie quarterbacks since his return to Pittsburgh in 2004. If you are not, it is 14-1.

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III attempted to play wide receiver against the Steelers on a play that I’m sure worked a lot better in practice.
Steelers’ Ryan Clark unloaded on Griffin…and BOOM goes the dynamite. I know I’m just a blogger but maybe the Redskins should think about letting Griffin just work on being a better quarterback.

All the hype coming into this one was about the Redskins sensational rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III (and the Steelers 1934 throwback uniforms). Last week I wrote about Dick LeBeau and what the Steelers might do to slow him and the Redskins offense down. Mission accomplished. No doubt RGIII was hurt by drops from his receivers, but...
