This was a fine way to start out the regular season. Unfortunately both teams running games were non existent. The Steelers defense was dominate throughout lead by Troy Polamalu. He was all over the place before his injury in the 2nd Quarter; he did not return. Both offenses finally at the end of the half. QB Ben Roethlisberger threw a nice 34-yard touchdown pass to WR Santonio Holmes. Then QB Kerry Collins through a 14- yard touchdown pass WR Justin Gage. The score was tied at 7 at halftime.In the 4th quarter both teams put a field goal on the board. As time winded down in the 4th quarter The Steelers were driving down the field. All of a sudden a pass to Hines Ward turned disastrous when he FUMBLED and the Titans recovered at the 3 yard line. With only 50 seconds left in the game and the score tied 10-10 the Titans ran out the clock. In overtime the Steelers won the toss and Ben Roethlisberger lead the Steeler offense down the field and kicked a field goal (Jeff Reed) to win the game 13-10.
