50-YARD LINE

The Steelers win their home opener over the J-E-T-S, Jets. Today we take a look back at the victory with the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
1)The Good-Ben's play. He was 24 for 31 for 275 yards, no turnovers and 2 TDs yesterday for a 125.1 rating. Ben was also able to keep his receivers happy, spreading the ball around to 10 different targets. Ben was able to keep plays alive, too with his scrambling ability. Also, Ben reached a milestone in the win. He joined Terry Bradshaw as the only Steelers to pass for over 27,000 yards. Congrats to Ben on a job well done yesterday.
2)The Bad-The running game, or again this week, the lack thereof. The running game is still not clikcing on all cylinders for the Steelers. They averaged just 2.4 yards per rush with 6 for negative yardage. . However, Redman and Dwyer do get honorable mention. In the 4th quarter, when the Steelers needed the run the most to run out the clock, they were 31 yards on 8 carriers during the 10 minute drive. Redman sealed it with a 2-yard TD run. Let's see them do that for 60 minutes and see what we get.
3)The Ugly-Penalties, some real, some imagined by the replacement refs. 10 penalties for 107 yards is an ugly stat, indeed. Clean it up, guys.
Steelers, Raisins and Bungles are all 1-1 in the AFC North. The Clowns are looking up at 0-2. Next week, the Steelers travel to the Black Hole to take on the Raiders. Go Steelers!!!!!!
