Steeler Iron Curtain Closes Cincinnatti River Dance

Steeler Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger return from a knee injury helped Pittsburgh set a Steeler record with a tenth straight road win. This happened despite his lightly used arm. Football fan Brian Jackson was fined $300 for signing a Steeler jersey pretending to be Roethlisberger in wake of Pittsburgh’s milestone victory.

Pittsburgh’s attack continues to depend on a grinding ground game. Steeler lore’s filled with ball control outings compared to up and down aerial displays that avail the opposition to more counter attacks and costly turnover opportunities.

Sunday’s battle to take the Ohio River for pigskin supremacy shrank the champion Steelers’ margin to a half game behind Northeast division leading Cincinnatti.

The sooner touchdown receiving scorers on these two squads drop the Michael Flatley impersonations, the sooner they will return to what fans here expect from entertainment. The "River Dance" after flamboyant flat runners pass through both teams’ secondaries seems so last century.
