... Field on Sunday with a much needed win. 

Some of the same problems that we’ve seen each week were present:  critical dropped pass, this time by Hines Ward; untimely turnover (Rashard Mendenhall’s fumble); mental breakdown (giving up a kick return for a touchdown, after Brett Keisel’s strip and Lamar Woodley’s scoop and run should have all but ended the game).

The Steelers needed a second spectacular play on defense by Keyaron Fox to finally put the game on ice.

The two spectacular defensive plays marked the first time all year that the defense stepped up and made a big play when they had to in the fourth quarter.  The defense was solid all game, holding Adrian Peterson in check, until the fourth quarter, when he made a train wreck of William Gay. 

Brett Favre, the crafty veteran that he is, looked to have his team poised to steel one (no pun intended) in Pittsburgh.
