Ben Roethlisberger didn't let a bitter,
snowy night bother his throwing or running, totaling 243 yards passing with a
passing and rushing touchdown, as Pittsburgh methodically wore down
Cincinnati, 27-10, at Heinz Field. Roethlisberger completed 17-of-30 passes,
with five of those passes going to Santonio Holmes, who was shaken up on a
a helmet-to-helmet hit and did not return after amassing 84 receiving yards.
Willie Parker found little running room with 37 yards on 14 carries, but
Mewelde Moore had more success with 56 yards on 15 carries to go along with
four catches for 41 yards. Heath Miller caught four passes for 44 yards and a
score for the Steelers (8-3), who won their fifth straight in the series for
the first time since 1993. Pittsburgh now leads the AFC North by 1 1/2 games
over Baltimore, which plays Philadelphia on Sunday. Ryan Fitzpatrick
completed 20-of-37 passes for 168 yards with one touchdown and one
interception in defeat. Cedric Benson ran for 35 yards and Glenn Holt caught
a touchdown pass for the Bengals (1-9-1), who played without star wideout
Chad Johnson, who was suspended earlier in the day Thursday for
violating team rules.
