Key Stats & Facts
Stewart 21 of 33, 63.6%, 266 yds, 1 TD, 0 Int, 5 runs, 50 yds, 1 TD: Man, what a performance by Stew! People have been asking how Kordell would do without a running game... looks like the answer is a resounding "just fine, thank you." Bettis 21 carries, 52 yds, 2.5 avg, 0 TDs: After 56 minutes of play, Bettis had gained a paltry 8 yards on 18 carries (an average of 0.4 yds per carry). But, brother, what he did in those last 4 minutes! Bettis' 40-yd romp following Porter's forced fumble was the key offensive play of the game. Joey Porter 7 tackles, 1 sack and 1 HUGE forced fumble: With the Jags, trailing 13-7, poised to take the lead at the Steeler 18, Joey Porter made the play of the game with sack and forced fumble of Quinn (recovered by Hampton). Bettis broke loose on the following play, and the game was over. Kendrell Bell 6 tckls, 1 forced fumble & 2 sacks... Earl Holmes 12 tckls, countless pressures: Porter got the play of the game, but THESE two guys were the defensive players of the game. The tandom of Bell & Holmes left Quinn (who was sacked 5 times) literally shell-shocked. Hines Ward 9 catches, 112 yds, 12.4 avg, 1 TD: What a player this guy is. Week in and week out, he's there to make clutch receptions, devastating blocks, and show the rest of the under-achieving Steelers receivers how it should be done.
