The Pittsburgh Steelers last played September 10th back in Foxborough, Mass against the defending world champion New England Patriots. They had some ten days to prepare for the San Francisco 49ers who opened their season at home last Monday beating up the Purple People. Something had to give between the Steelers Offense and the 49ers traveling east on a short week not making any excuses.

Well after a Big Ben Roethlisberger TD Pass to Heath Miller late in the 1st frame and a successful two-point conversion the Steelers led 8-0. Between the 2nd and 3rd frames the Black and Yellow would outscore the Niners 21-3 to take a commanding 29-3 lead after three. Yes the Niners score twice in the 4th as former Steelers Killer and former Purple Browns deep threat Torrey Smith (6 rec 120 yds TD) and Anquan Boldin (6 rec 60 yds TD) both caught TDs as the Steelers erupted for two more scores as well.

The final a Steelers 43-18 win as Big Ben (21/27 369 yds 3 TD), Antonio Brown (9 rec 195 yds TD), and RB Deangelo Williams (20 car 77 yds 3 TD) all had huge Fantasy Days. The lead story was the Steelers "D" as they dominated the first three frames including a goal line stand late in the 3rd. That is refreshing to see since they looked out of place all, game long versus the Past in week 1.

Both teams move to 1-1 as the Black and Yellow will be in St. Louis next week vs the Rams...
