In a match where they expected many more points than we saw, Pittsburgh pulled a 12-6 win over St.Louis, here, we present some points from the Steelers victory over the Rams.
Ben Roethlisberger’s injury
In the third quarter of the game, Roethlisberger was injured, despite that, the team managed to get the win and get to 2-1, and the W becomes even more important as they are playing against the Ravens next Thursday and we don’t know for sure how long will the Steelers QB be off the field. A sensitive injury, but it is good to know that the team can win even without his arm.
The return of Bell Le’veon
Steelers superstar did not have a 150 yards and three touchdowns game, but his presence was vital to the success of the team, especially when you take pressure off Roethlisberger in the air; He managed seven receptions for 70 yards, but his performance was not the best on the run, averaging only 3.3 yards on 19 attempts. Bell’s return becomes even more important after Roethlisberger’s injury.
Michael Vick
Roethlisberger went out with his injury, entered the field veteran Michael Vick, who gave the Rams every opportunity to win but they just did not take them. Vick fumbled the ball, and at another chance almost threw a costly interception. Despite that fact, the team got the win, it will be interesting to see if the Steelers owner puts Vick in the starting position while Roethlisberger is out.
The Rams were cowards
Knowing full well that the Steelers defense is the worst in the NFL, the Rams were very lukewarm to attack them, at no time they sought to open the field, including several third downs sought first down before the attempt to score, with short passes. not even marking 50 total yards between their two runners.
The incompetence on Roethlisberger pressure
We know that the defense of the Rams is one of the best in the NFL but apparently they faced an even more powerful offensive line, showing that maybe even without Roethlisberger, their running game may be able to make them win some games or more.
