The cost was high but the Pittsburgh Steelers got the job done on Sunday. After two straight losses they came into Week 9 desperately needing a win, especially since they’re competing with the Oakland Raiders for one of the AFC’s two wild card spots.
Pittsburgh gave up 35 points and lost Ben Roethlisberger to another injury. That doesn’t change the fact that they got a crucial win thanks to excellent performances at several key positions.
