Ben Roethlisberger threw for a trio of scores
and Pittsburgh's defense came up with three interceptions of Kyle Orton in a
28-10 triumph over the Denver Broncos. Tyrone Carter returned one of those
interceptions 48 yards for a touchdown and Troy Polamalu's pick-off set up
Roethlisberger's 25-yard scoring toss to Mike Wallace in the fourth quarter.
Roethlisberger connected on 21-of-29 passes and was picked off once as the
Steelers (6-2) won their fifth straight game. Rashard Mendenhall rushed 22
times for 155 yards, while Hines Ward had a pair of TD catches as Pittsburgh
controlled the clock in the second half. Santonio Holmes caught six balls for
93 yards in the win. Orton connected on 23-of-38 passes for 221 yards for
the Broncos (6-2), who were coming off a 30-7 blowout loss at Baltimore.
Brandon Marshall had 11 receptions for 112 yards, but Denver's running
game was nonexistent as the Broncos combined for 27 yards on the ground.
