2003
2003 Steelers 34 vs Ravens 15
Plaxico Burress dominates cornerback Chris McAlister for 6 catches and 116 yds and delivers the game’s biggest play on a 47-yd bomb from Tommy Maddox to the Ravens’ 8. Two plays later, Maddox hits Ward (9 catches, 91 yds and 2 TDs) for a 4-yd TD that makes it 13-0 at halftime. Pittsburgh terrorizes rookie QB Kyle Boller in his first start and builds a 27-0 lead on 3 straight Maddox TD passes before the Ravens finally score on Jamal Lewis's run late in the third quarter. For the game, Maddox completes 21 of 29 for 260 yds and 3 TDs against Baltimore's shell-shocked secondary.
2003 Steelers 17 at Bengals 10
With the Steelers clinging to a 7-3 lead midway through the 3rd quarter, Jerome Bettis comes off the bench and puts the Bengals away, running 6 straight times including a 1-yd TD plunge to extend Pittsburgh's lead to 14-3. Bettis bulldozes his way into FG range on Pittsburgh's next drive early in the 4th quarter to turn what had been a tight game into a 17-3 Steeler lead. Cinci fights back and scores on a Kitna TD pass with 6 minutes left and again, the Steelers turn to Bettis to muscle down the clock, old-school Pittsburgh style, and the drive ends with Maddox taking a knee in victory formation as time runs out. Bettis' final stats are not impressive (16 carries, 59 yds, 1 TD), but his impact on the game was immeasurable.
2003 Steelers 28 vs Cardinals 15
Jason Gildon moves ahead of LC Greenwood to become Pittsburgh's all-time sack leader as the Steelers end a 5-game losing streak with an explosive 3rd quarter. The Steelers enter the 2nd half with a slim 7-3 lead, but a Gildon sack of Jeff Blake on pins AZ at the Steeler 3. A terrible punt by Scott Player travels only 24 yds and the Steelers take advantage of the great field position as Maddox hits Ward for a 5-yd TD 3 plays later. Following the ensuing kickoff, DeShea Townsend -- who has 7 tackles and breaks up 2 passes -- nails Blake for a sack on a corner blitz, forcing a fumble that Kimo von Oelhoffen recovers at the Cardinal 22. The Steelers need only one play to score their 2nd TD in 65 seconds, a 22-yd Maddox-to-Ward to make it 21-3. Lightning strikes again a few minites later when Randle El following great special teams blocking and returns a punt 52 yds for TD to ostensibly put the game away at 28-3.
2003 Steelers 13 at Browns 6
Bettis becomes the 5th player in NFL history to surpass 3000 carries, gaining 93 yds on 24 attempts while helping overcome a dismal performance by Maddox, who finishes 9 of 24 for 73 yds. Thankfully, the defense is FINALLY able to generate some much-needed turnovers, forcing 3 fumbles -- 2 deep in Cleveland territory -- which ultimately lead to all 13 of Pittsburgh's points. In a pivotal 3rd quarter, Pittsburgh's defense also stuffs Cleveland on 3 straight runs on 2nd, 3rd and 4th-and-goal from the 1, then intercepted Holcomb in the end zone on Cleveland's ensuing drive after they had driven to the Steeler 6. Footage includes some postgame.
2003 Steelers 27 vs Raiders 7
The Steelers play their best game since the season opener vs. Baltimore, outgaining the Raiders 399-161 while brutalizing Rick Mirer (10 of 25, 68 yds, 0 TD, 2 Ints). Kimo von Oelhoffen records 3 of Pittsburgh's 4 sacks and Bettis becomes Pittsburgh's first 100-yd rusher of the season with 106 yds on 27 carries, moving past Thurman Thomas into 9th place for career rushing yards. But Antwaan Randle el is the real playmaker on the day, setting up 3 scores with several clutch catches, an 18-yd run and punt returns of 51 and 26 yds.
2003 Steelers 0 at Jets 6
Despite blizzard-like conditions with heavy snow and 30 mph winds, RB Curtis Martin has a ridiculous game with 228 all-purpose yds, piling up 174 rushing yds on 30 carries and adding 54 more receiving yds on 4 catches. All that production leads to only 2 Doug Brien FGs, but it's enough to earn a Jets win as Jeff Reed misses his both of his FG attempts (42 and 20 yds) wide left, officially eliminating the Steelers from playoff contention.
2003 Steelers 40 vs Chargers 24
I attended this game at Heinz field and it's not what happens during the game but before the game that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt how different and special the Pittsburgh Steelers are. It was a 4 pm game but we were there way early and already in our usual parking spot at the corner of Allegheny and Western by 10:30 am or so. I was with a friend who had never been to a Steelers game before and in spite of temps in the mid-30's, we wanted to beat the crowd, wander around the stadium area a little and maybe hit some sports bars before the game. As we're getting ready to head toward the stadium, we look across the street near McDOnald's and there is none other than Mr. Dan Rooney -- all bundled up and by himself -- walking down Allegheny Ave. toward the stadium! So Billy and I looked at each other and then shouted, "Hey, Mr. Rooney! We love you, man," or something dorky along those lines and Mr. Rooney glanced up, gave a little half salute and continued his steady, rather stiff walk. It was truly amazing. I mean, can you imagine the likes of Jerry Jones walking to the stadium? In cold weather, no less! God bless the Rooney's for the wonderful example they set. Oh, yeah... the game was a nice win in the midst of a tough season. Strong performances by Bettis (32 carries, 115 yds, 1 TD), Maddox (11 of 18, 160 yds, 3 TDs) and Deshea Townsend (2 INTs, 1 TD).
2006 Steelers 27 vs Browns 7 TNF
In a game I attended on a cold, snowy, windy, nasty Thursday night in Pittsburgh, Willie Parker runs wild for a team-record 223 yds on 32 carries, besting Frenchy Fuqua's previous mark of 218 yds and needing just north of 3 quarters to do it. The Steelers out-rush the Browns 303-18 and Big Ben throws for 225 including a 49-yd bomb to Nate Washington to open the scoring on the way to 528 yds of offense. Cleveland never knew what hit 'em. Video includes the halftime show and about 30 minutes of postgame material.
2006 Steelers 23 at Bengals 17 OT
Santonio Holmes’ 67-yd TD catch-and-run in overtime ends the Bengals’ season (no playoffs for you!) and sends Coach Cowher out on a high note in his final game as head coach of the Steelers. The defending Super Bowl champion Steelers are already eliminated from playoff contention coming into the game, but the Bengals were still in position to clinch a Wild Card berth with a win. Instead, the Steelers play spoiler as the Bungles miss a 39-yd FG attempt with 8 seconds left in regulation and Big Ben needs just 3 plays in overtime to hit Holmes in stride on a slant. Santonio does the rest, eluding multiple defenders as he sprints down the sideline and finally dives the final few yards into the end zone for the 67-yd game winner.
2007
2007 Steelers 38 vs Ravens 7 MNF
Ben Roethlisberger puts on a clinic of escapability, accuracy and poise, hitting 13 of 16 for 209 yds and a record 5 first half TDs as the Steelers utterly annihilate the Ravens on a rainy Monday Night in Pittsburgh. Santonio Holmes snags 4 receptions for 110 yds and 2 TDs and Nate Washington also hauls in a pair of TD catches. Meanwhile, LB James Harrison goes absolutely berserk, victimizing Baltimore for 3 1/2 sacks, forcing three fumbles (one of which he also recovers) and intercepting a pass as the Steeler defense, wearing their '60s-era throwback unis, holds Baltimore to their lowest offensive output in franchise history (104 yds) and forces 4 turnovers. Steve McNair goes 13 of 22 for only 63 yds and is sacked 5 times before Kyle Boller comes in and goes 3 of 9 for 21 yds and a sack. An stunningly beautiful win over a HATED opponent. A special thanks to Keith "Crash" Froehlich for generously providing us with this game.
2009 Steelers 37 vs Packers 36
In a dogfight virtually devoid of running plays or pass defense on either side, Big Ben hits Mike Wallace on the first play of the game for a 60-yd TD and then hits Wallace again on the final play of the game for a 19-yd game-winning TD en route to a 503-yd passing performance. Meanwhile, Aaron Rogers throws for a "paltry" 383 yds (lol) as the two offenses combine for nearly 1,000 yds. Roethlisberger's final TD is necessitated by a questionable, controversial decision by Mike Tomlin who, after the Steelers take a 30-28 on a Jeff Reed FG w/3:58 remaining, calls a surprising onside kick. Green Bay recovers and turns the short field into an easy TD (adding a 2-point conversion) to take a 36-30 lead with 2:06 remaining. As it turns out, the Steelers need every one of those 126 seconds for their 86-yd game-winning drive, snatching victory away from Green Bay on Ben's desperation TD pass to Wallace as time expires. On the pass, Wallace is lined up by himself on the left side and beats the Packer DB back toward the pylon. Roethlisberger threadeds the needle with an absolutely perfect pass to the outside where only Wallace can get it. Wallace extends out of bounds to secure the sideline catch, dragging his toes in the end zone to seal Pittsburgh's nail-biting, record-setting victory. A special thanks to Keith "Crash" Froehlich for generously providing us with this game.
