Ridiculous. The referees haven't called anything that was patently unfair other than Wallace's taunting call in the first quarter. The Texans are playing stupid, penalty-prone football and they are getting punished for it.

I love the way teams find our suckiest CB and abuse them in one on one coverage...thanks Jason Allen...

Of course they do, but one thing that has been underscored today is that Jason Allen, bad as he is, is far better than Jackson.

Oh my goodness, we needed that....


Welcome back Arian Foster...

Come on Defense...

Lets please help out Jason Allen...

I was talking about this with someone else earlier. Tate is good. He's real good. But Foster is so much better than Tate it's like he's playing a different sport altogether.

Brown brings the kickoff back to the Steeler 17.

Redman goes right side for about 8. 2nd and 2 coming up.

Roethlisberger sacked! Holding on Steelers is declined. 3rd and 9 coming up.

Pass to Ward is broken up, inc. Steelers have to punt. Very hard hit on Ward by Allen to break up the pass.

JJ brings the punt back to the Texan 40.

Nobody deserves to get blindsided more than Heinz ward.

I can't stand that dude...

About 50 NFL players can do what ben Tate does, run it really well in the right situation. I honestly don't know anyone who does more things well than foster at rb.

While that should've been a sack ...I am impressed with the pressure we are getting...
