The Pittsburgh Steelers: Pittsburgh Steelers Ben Roethlisberger and the defense are late in the championship game did it again? James Harrison, the late Curtis Painter and the sack of Troy Polamalu of the 16-yard fumble return for a touchdown gave the Steelers at the end of the second half to lead. Shaun Suisham Roethlisberger set for 38-yard field goal with 4 seconds left to give the 23-20 victory at Indianapolis on Sunday night Pittsburgh. It looked nothing like the Steelers' trademark pattern until the closing minutes. Roethlisberger turned over the ball three times during an 11-minute span in the first half, Pittsburgh 2-1 rushed for only 67 yards and the vaunted Steelers defense produced only one sack the one Polamalu scored on. But the Steelers took Roethlisberger finished 60 yard goal kick Suisham March. Roethlisberger was 25 with 37,364 yards a touchdown. Mike Wallace caught five passes for 144 yards and 81-yard score, the longest of his career. Feisty but the Colts 0-3 rallied from a 10-point deficit in the first half, took a 13-10 halftime lead and not lag behind again until Polamalu scored with 5:13 still the game.
Joseph Addai ran 17 times for 86 yards and scored on a 6-yard run that tied it at 20 with 2:09 to go. Indy's defense just couldn't hold it. Pittsburgh took advantage quickly. It got a 48-yard field goal from Suisham on the opening possession and took advantage of a terrible mismatch linebacker Pat Angerer on Wallace for the 81-yard pass to make it 10-0 in the first quarter. So Indy defense did its best imitation of Pittsburgh. Robert Mathis removed Roethlisberger on a sack near midfield and recovered the ball as set up Adam Vinatieri from 21 yards to midfield through the lens of the second quarter. On the next series, Dwight Freeney stripped from the opposite side, Roethlisberger on another bag. Jamaal Anderson picked up the ball, cut in midfield and used a block Conner brilliant man to overcome a 47-yard score. It's 10-10.
