The Pittsburgh Steelers were able to hold on for the win against the St. Louis Rams despite losing Ben Roethlisberger

The Pittsburgh Steelers headed to Missouri to play the St. Louis Rams. The game was delayed because the Rams set their artificial turf on fire.

Once the game started, the Rams defense was able to slow down the Steelers offense. The Steelers were held to a field goal in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, running back Le’Veon Bell scored on a one-yard touchdown run. The Steelers went for the two-point conversion but failed to convert.

The biggest injury of the game came in the second half when quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went down. He was hit low and his left leg bent a direction it wasn’t intended to go. Roethlisberger lied motionless on the field before being helped off the field, eventually he was carted off to be evaluated.

Inside the two-minute warning, the Steelers added another field goal to extend their lead.

Three stars

  1. Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Steelers – Before leaving with an injury, Roethlisberger completed 20 of 24 passes for 192 yards.
  2. Antonio Brown, WR, Steelers – Brown had another big day, catching 11 passes for 108 yards.
  3. Le’Veon Bell, RB, Steelers – Bell’s first game back was big. He carried the ball 19 times for 62 yards and a touchdown. He also caught seven passes for 70 yards.

Highlights

The early highlight of the game might have been running back Le’Veon Bell hurdling defenders.

The lowlight of the game would be the hit that took out Roethlisberger.

Next Week

Next week the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC North match-up. It’s a Thursday night game which means a short week for both teams.

The St. Louis Rams go on the road to play NFC West rivals, the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have looked formidable early in the season and it will be a tough test for the Rams.
