Hines Ward caught five passes for 123 yards and the game changing touchdown. Other than “Fast” Willie Parker’s 75-yard run, no other skill players for the Steelers showed up to play. QB Ben Roethlisberger had an awful game, completing only nine passes for 123 yards and two interceptions. Jerome Bettis, for all the hype, had only 43 yards on 14 carries. But the Steelers are a team and that’s why they won the game. And Hines Ward is the best player on that team.
Ward made a couple of great catches – one was a shoestring grab that kept a Pittsburgh drive alive. Another put the Steelers in position to score the go ahead touchdown at the end of the first half. He is Pittsburgh’s MVP, without a doubt.
