Sweet. Stillers secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs by pounding the crap out of the lowly cheapshot-artists/professional thugs/Cravens. AP recap and boxscore here. Post-game quotes here. Steelers never punted, put up 404 total yards, and stuffed Jamal Lewis for 26 pathetic total rushing yards. My favorite part was the dozen-consecutive-rushing-play-bitchslap:
Drive Summary: 14 plays, 71 yards
1st-10, PIT29 B. Roethlisberger passed to H. Ward to the right for 7 yard gain
2nd-3, PIT36 J. Bettis rushed up the middle for 7 yard gain
1st-10, PIT43 J. Bettis rushed up the middle for 3 yard gain
2nd-7, PIT46 J. Bettis rushed to the left for 11 yard gain
1st-10, BAL43 V. Haynes rushed up the middle for 11 yard gain
1st-10, BAL32 V. Haynes rushed up the middle for 9 yard gain
2nd-1, BAL23 V. Haynes rushed up the middle for 5 yard gain
1st-10, BAL18 V. Haynes rushed up the middle for 3 yard gain
2nd-7, BAL15 J. Bettis rushed to the left for 6 yard gain
3rd-1, BAL9 J. Bettis rushed up the middle for no gain
4th-1, BAL9 B. Roethlisberger rushed up the middle for 2 yard gain
1st-7, BAL7 J. Bettis rushed up the middle for 4 yard gain
2nd-3, BAL3 J. Bettis rushed up the middle for 1 yard gain
3rd-2, BAL2 B. Roethlisberger passed to J. Tuman to the left for 2 yard touchdown. J. Reed made PAT
Of course this was followed by my least favorite part, as the Cravens managed to get in another costly cheapshot, "injuring" Rotty's ribs. If anyone's got any info on the rib status, please pass on in the comments thread.
All hail the Bus for racking up 117 to pass Dickerson! All hail Plaxico! All hail James Harrison! All hail an undefeated Heinz field record!
