Steelers running back Willie Parker rushed for 53 of his game-high 93 yards in the first quarter Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. But a fast start by Parker wasn't the reason why backup Rashard Mendenhall played only on special teams in the Steelers' 23-20 loss to the Bengals. Head coach Mike Tomlin said Mendenhall didn't have a good week of practice. "Rashard wasn't on the detail (last) week," Tomlin said, "so I chose not to play him on offense."

He's looking more and more like a bust every week. Tim Worley, Jr. The Steelers run game is in big, BIG trouble next season...Parker is gone, Moore's contract is up and Mendenhall is left...with no fullback...YIKES!
