This game got off to a slow start with neither team scoring any Touchdowns until the fourth quarter. The Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints went back and forth, forcing punts and causing two Turnovers, a piece. By Halftime, each team had only scored a Field Goal, making it anyone’s game. Unfortunately, the Saints came out tough in the fourth quarter and managed to put up an extra Touchdown, giving the Steelers their second loss of the season.

This was Ben Roethlisberger’s third game back, and his first loss of the season. He had no Touchdown passes, but threw for 195 yards, completing 17/28 passes. Big Ben had a single interception against the Saints. The Steelers’ lone Touchdown was scored by Rashard Mendenhall’s 38 yard run.

As nice as it would have been to defeat the defending Super Bowl Champs in their Hometown, the Steelers still have a great record of 5-2. They are currently tied with the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North, leading the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns by three games.

The Steelers have a big game against the Cincinnati Bengals next week, in Cincinnati. The two teams will host Monday Night Football, starting at 8:30 P.M. ET.
