Short post: Steelers vs. Browns

Not a lot to say on this one, other than Big Ben is looking phenomenal. I was expecting a run-heavy game against the Brownies, but Ben just picked them apart completely through the air. Both Santonio Holmes and Hines Ward had 100+ performances. Holmes had 104 yards and Ward had 159. Each of them had around a 20-yard average per catch.

What's even more sweet is that the Ravens (3-3) just lost their third game in a row and the Bungals (4-2) got defeated by the Texans. We're in second place in our division because we lost to Cincinnati, but we'll redeem ourselves when we match up against them Nov. 15 after the Bye.

Our biggest test for our defense comes this week when Minnesota comes into town. Adrian Peterson ran all over the Ravens with 143 rushing yards. The Vikings beat the Ravens the same way teams have beat us this season... in the 4th quarter. If our defense doesn't show up for 60 minutes (or really 30 minutes because I would hope we can control at least half the clock), then we don't go into our Bye Week very happily.
