Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Indianapolis Colts: 23-20

One would think the Steelers should have kicked some butt here, but they barely made it out alive.  Initially, it looked like they would rack up the points, but then a serious flaw reared up:  their front line.  Ben Roethlisberger fumbled the ball twice after getting pressure from the sides.  Just unreal.  You'd think that after two or three seasons of a horrible front line that they'd get some decent players in the draft to deal with this situation.  It doesn't look like they've found those players yet.  They might not have drafted a good front line over the last couple years, but they did find a good receiver in Mike Wallace.  This was his sixth straight game of 100 yards plus in receptions.  On defense, the Steelers' vaunted run defense was looking weak, but was off-set by their passing defense.  This probably had more to do with the fact that Indianapolis no longer has Peyton Manning.  As can probably be indicated by my tone, I wasn't all that impressed with this win -- except for Wallace.
