Steelers 41, Rams 24 - back on the playoff path!

Ok - the good news...The Steelers won a game! Wasn't sure I was going to be able to write that again. The bad news? Willie Parker broke his fibula and is out for the season! Well, all is not lost, as Najeh Davenport ran for 123 yards and the banged-up Roethlisberger threw for three more TD passes, pushing his season total to 32 - four more than HOF QB Terry Bradshaw. Not bad.

And then there's Hines Ward - who passed HOF receiver John Stallworth for the Steelers' career lead in yards. Are there any Stiller passing records he doesn't own now?

Let's hope that this good vibe can continue into the playoffs. All the teams that are going are teams that the Stillers struggled against or lost to. And if Cleveland makes it, they'd have to beat them for a third time in a season. Not an easy thing to do.

Although it is interesting to note that they did do it once before. In 1993. When the "genius" Belichick was Cleveland's head coach. Guess he's learned a few things coaching-wise over the years, huh?
