Let me just throw a few facts at you about tonight's game...

1. The Broncos scored ZERO offensive touchdowns

2. The Steelers increased Kyle Orton's season interception total by 300%


3. The Broncos rushed for a miserable 27 yards

4. Big Ben was 21/29 (72% completion percentage) for 233 and 3 TDs (ignore the INT)

5. Rashard Mendenhall rushed for 155 yards on 22 carries (a 7 yard average)

6. Brett Keisel sacked Kyle Orton twice

7. The Defensive Line didn't skip a beat with Nick Eason at LDE

8. Hines Ward caught 7 balls for 44 yards and 2 TDs, and created this highlight for the ages...

9. Mike Wallace caught 4 balls for 69 yards and a TD

10. Santonio Holmes - 6 BIG catches for 93 yards!

At the half, things looked bleaker than Anthony Smith's career (ok, maybe I'm exaggerating)...

But the Steelers emerged from the half ready to turn the tide, and that's just what they did...

61 total plays!

21 first downs!

The Steelers played 60 minutes of football to remember tonight (yes, 60)...


Enjoy the victory, my friends.

Recap to come tomorrow.

    If this is what happens in second halves when I have to go to sleep, I will gladly take a nap at halftime next Sunday. Extremely happy with the win, but it was hard trying to go to bed after that first half. Definitely some things I was a little concerned with.

    Great win!

    WHOOOOo. Fun game. Little Evil had two picks. Does our D have more TDs than the Browns O yet?

    Yeah baby! Riding a tsunami of swagger after a big win like that, no better way to head towards a Cinci rematch than this.

    I had faith that Lebeau would figure out how to stop those orange clowns. Weren't nuthin workin for'em in the second half.

    Those back to back plays by Troy are why he is a big deal.

    I particularly liked James Harrison's helicopter hit on Correll Buckhalter late in the fourth quarter, during Denver's final "let's pad our stats" drive.

    The hit was violent, emphatic and basically said, "Don't even try that shit."
