Steelers win

Classic Vinny down the stretch. I remember when he used to do that kind of thing for the Browns.

Sweet, sweet victory. More later ...

...Ben's QB rating climbs to 100.1. This team has problems, for sure, but QB doesn't appear to be one of them.

The Steelers have won four in a row. And it will be Roethlisberger, the cool rookie who stood in the pocket and made some tough throws against a rugged pass rush, who will be credited with guiding them to this one.

"I was trying not to get hurt," said Roethlisberger, who was sacked three times but avoided several others. "I was able to make some people miss and luckily I have the best receivers in the game."

Hines Ward, Plaxico Burress, Antwaan Randle El, Duce Staley, and with Riemersma healthy and looking like the guy we thought we had last year, and with Tuman making a catch like that: I say Ben's not exaggerating.

Roethlisberger was sharp at the outset. After Richie Anderson capped the Cowboys' first drive with a 21-yard TD run, the Steelers marched downfield to tie it on Roethlisberger's 5-yard pass to Burress.

In that one play, Roethlisberger showed more mobility than Marino ever did, scrambling out of the pocket to his right and slinging the ball to Burress an instant before Marcellus Wiley tackled him from behind.

The play excited the many Steelers fans sprinkled throughout Texas Stadium who waved their signature "Terrible Towels" with every first down.

"For a minute there I thought we were in Pittsburgh," said Cowboys linebacker Dexter Coakley. "It felt like it was a home game for them."

I also loved the cries of "Duuuuuuuuuuce" every time he handled the ball.
