Ben Roethlisberger threw five touchdowns for the second time in his career as the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Tennessee Titans, 38-17. Roethlisberger, who played through a sprained left foot, completed 24-of-34 passes for 228 yards for the Steelers (3-2), who bounced back nicely after a 17-10 loss last Sunday against Houston. Jonathan Dwyer ran for a career-high 107 yards on 11 carries, including a 76-yard run. Isaac Redman ran the ball 15 times for 49 yards. Matt Hasselbeck threw for 262 yards and a touchdown on 29-of-49 passing for the Titans (3-2). The Steeler defense held Chris Johnson in check for 51 yards and a score on 14 carries.

Props to big Ben. He played like a monster today. You could see he was in a lot of pain during the game. Way to go big guy! :beer:
Good all around gae by the Steelers. Nice quick drops and passes. Ben's accuracy was solid. Good running game and the O-Line was much better than in the past few games. Max Starks was great. I don't know if his play or the fact that he was in shape to play the full game was more impressive. Dwyer, Lewis, Heyward all did well. Not your usual suspects. Need to build off this win...HAVE to.
FF is a snitch......... I leave Fitzpatrick in because of matchup and Big Ben pulls a Joe Flacco on me and throws 5 TD's against a normally stingy defense.
