Buffalo Bills 3 at Pittsburgh Steelers 26
Stuart Fraser: First thought: These Steelers throwbacks are hideous, or possibly worse than that. 75th anniversary or not, can we please stick to the 1970s unis if you want to go throwback?
I wonder if TMQ will mention that the Bills just went for it on fourth-and-2 from the Steelers (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/2007/09/17/ramblings/audibles/5493/#)’ 45-yard line or so. Losman threw incomplete. Roethlisberger then threw a 2006 special to Holmes and was intercepted, so the net result is that the Bills continue their drive, but lose 30 yards of field position. Note to teams playing the Steelers: Twice after a turnover now, the Steelers have gone deep to Santonio Holmes.
Buffalo’s pass rush seems to have gone to sleep. Roethlisberger had to throw away several passes on the Steelers’ first drive; this drive, he has forever. What the Bills are doing is preventing the Steelers from striking deep (Roethlisberger has about six yards per attempt, which is kinda low for him), but I don’t know if this is that great a plan; it’s looking rather a lot like Super Bowl XLI with Pittsburgh in Indy’s role at the moment.
