Our Steelers finally preserved a fourth-quarter lead, beating one of our rivals Baltimore Ravens 23-20 on Sunday.

While our Steelers are at 8-7, with our season seemingly ended by a five game losing streak and followed by a last-second 37-36 victory over Green Bay Packers and another close victory over the rival Baltimore Ravens.

"It's been do or die for us for a while, fighting to the last minute. We're like the cardiac kids''

                                   -Ben Roethlisberger

We know our defense has been struggling to stop teams at the end of the game, and this was big for us,' ''Hopefully it will carry over and we'll have teams do what need to do and we can get into the dance, because that's the ultimate goal.''

                                    -James Farrior 

Ben threw a touchdown pass making him the first Steelers quarterback to pass for 4,000 yards in a season.

Our Steelers have lost six leads in the last quarter during a season marked by wins over the Chargers, Ravens,Vikings, Packers and Broncos, who are all contenders for the play-offs. Along with losses to the Chiefs, Raiders and Browns.

Now, with our final regular season game at Miami our Steelers will have some reasons to win and show their pride in the franchise, although we could win and still be eliminated from the play-off race.

As always, Here We Go!!!
