    The third-round pick out of Ole Miss was on the receiving end of a 22-yard pass play that set up Jeff Reed's 33-yard field goal to clinch the 13-10 overtime victory over the Titans Thursday night at Heinz Field. Although Wallace downplayed his heroics, saying he benefited from soft coverage "because I haven't really done too much in the league," Roethlisberger said he was "really proud" of the way Wallace came through with a clutch catch. "I was real nervous," Wallace said. "It was my first game, so I was just focused on the ball anytime it came, trying to make sure if it touched my hands, I came down with it. Ben always tells me to keep running, that it's either my ball or nobody's ball. That was my focus going in: If I can't catch it, to knock it down. Ben put the ball right there in my hands. All I had to do was come down with the catch." Wallace, a 6-foot, 199-pounder from New Orleans, was happy he was able to keep his composure.
