The Pittsburgh Steelers stay in the hunt for the AFC north title as they get pass the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome looking like Heinz Field in the Derrty Dirty! It was Big Ben Roethlisberger and the offense that played well as Ben connected for 360 yards on 27 for 35 but no TD's or INT's.

It was the Steelers netting two FG's in the 1st frame going up 6-0. Then it was the Steelers Defense turn as CB Will Gay gets a 52-yard pick 6 making it 13-0 Steelers. To the Falcons credit they went 85 yard drive on nine plays ending on a Devin Hester 17-yard TD pass from Matt Ryan making it 13-7 Steelers.

The Steelers  right before the half put the nail in the coffin with a 80-yard drive on a dozen plays with Steelers RB Le'veon Bell getting a 1-yard TD run making it 20-7 Steelers before the half. Two Matt Bryant FG's cut that lead to 20-13 as the Steelers capped a 80-yard drive in the 4th on a 13-yard run by Bell making it 27-13 Steelers.

The Falcons made it interesting after a 10 plays 84-yard drive resulting in a Falcons TD to Roddy White moving the score to 27-20. The Steelers iced the game converting a couple of 3rd down slate wining 27-20 and moving to 9-5 in the AFC north and the 5th seed. The Falcons losing falls to 5-9 and out of 1st place in the NFC south.

Steelers WR Antonio Brown grabbed ten pigskins for 123 yards. Falcons WR Harry Douglas led the Falcons with 131 yards on ten carries. Steelers RB Le'veon Bell ended his streak of three games of 200 plus yards from scrimmage netting 119 yards.
