Super 43 - Third Quarter Again

Steelers start out deep in their own territory...

Ward falls down in the backfield.
Four to the left? And they throw right? Sheesh. And a hanky. Facemask, and there goes the "pin 'em back" idea.

And, after a brief bladder break... Third and short.

Ward gets the little flare for the first. *Sigh* Steelers have it at midfield.
Roethlisberger avoids the sack - AND THEY GET A ROUGHING THE PASSER PENALTY! THAT is going to be the drive-changer.
Short gain.
Holmes gets the first. Why aren't the Cards trying for the strip?
"Cards don't have a defensive answer for that." - Understatement of the game, Mr. Madden.
Oh boy... first and goal. Sorry, but the Steelers get six here and we're talking game over.
Good pass to Miller - but he drops it.
Gee, we gonna call ANOTHER Roughing the Passer? Oh, gee, they'd never call intentional grounding.
Reed for the 27 yard attempt - and it's good. Uh oh - more laundry. Personal foul? Automatic first. There goes the game, kids.
Not a matter of if, but who'll put it in. They stop Parker on first.
OH! Almost intercepted! Knocked down, and that could have been a 90-yard pick-six.
And they DIDN'T fall for that one. Ben gets back to the line, nothing more.
Reed for a chip shot at 21 - and he gets it. 20-7 Steelers with 17:11 to go in the game.
