Michael Vick is overrated. Always has been; always will be. Last night, the Steelers defense exposed Vick’s weaknesses. He played the entire first half, going 5 for 12 for 47 yards with 3 interceptions. The Eagles first team went scoreless against the Steelers in the first half. The dream team’s defense wasn’t looking too stellar either. Ben Roethlisberger played a quarter and a half, going 8 for 12, with 125 yards and 2 touchdowns. Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman combined for 54 total yards. Antonio Brown had one touchdown catch, while Hines Ward grabbed another. Newcomer Jericho Cotchery also hauled in a touchdown pass thrown by back-up Byron Leftwich.
The Steelers led 21-0 at halftime… Against the Eagles first team.
The Steelers reserves held Philly scoreless throughout the 3rd quarter. Larry Foote picked off a pass thrown by Vince Young, which was quite possibly the worst pass thrown all night. Swayze Waters’ field goal added to the Steelers lead early on in the 4th quarter. Mike Kafka of the Eagles threw two garbage touchdowns to Gerald Jones late in the fourth.
Steelers 24, Eagles 14
