Despite the Steelers 30-24 win over the Miami Dolphins, they were still unable to make the playoffs.  The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Oakland Raiders 21-13, to clinch the AFC Wild Card berth.  Roethlisberger threw three touchdowns and the Steelers finished the season with 9 wins and 7 losses.

The Steelers pulled off a 23-20 win against the Ravens this weekend, keeping their playoff hopes alive.  Next week the Steelers will face the Miami Dolphins.

The Steelers came into this game against the Green Bay Packers on a 5 game losing streak.  It seemed that streak would extend to 6 when the Packers scored a touchdown with 2:06 left in the fourth quarter, making the score 36-30.  But Roethlisberger threw a 19 yard pass on the final play of the game to Mike Wallace for a touchdown, extending the Steelers record to 7-7.

The Steelers losing streak extends to 5, losing to the Cleveland Browns who have only 2 wins this season.  The Steelers were held scoreless until the very end of the second quarter when Jeff Reed kicked a 27 yard field goal.  The Steelers scored again at the end of the third, bringing the score to 13-6.  Both teams remained scoreless in the fourth however, and the Steelers fall to 6-7 on the season.

The Steelers lose by 3 points for the third week in a row.  A well played game by both the Raiders and the Steelers, and the Steelers found themselves ahead 24-20 with a touchdown pass to Hines Ward.  However, the Raiders responded with steady offense, and won the game 27-24 with a 11 yard touchdown pass to Bruce Gradkowski.

What a great game between the Ravens and Steelers, but also a tough loss for the Steelers.  Neither team was ahead by more than a touchdown the entire game.  Billy Cundiff kicked a 24 yard field goal with less than two minutes in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime.  Cundiff later kicked a 29 yard field goal with 6:42 in overtime to win the game.  The Steelers drop to 6-5 with the loss.

By the end of the second half, the Steelers led the Kansas City Chiefs 17-7.  Matt Cassel led a fourth quarter comeback to tie the game at 24-24, and send it to overtime.  Roethlisberger left the game with a possible concussion, and the offense could not get started.  Ryan Succop kicked the winning field goal for the Chiefs with 8:22 left in OT, to win the game 27-24.

Great defense from the Cincinnati Bengals, and a struggling Pittsburgh offense combined to hand the Bengals the win.  The Steelers were unable to score a single touchdown the entire game.  The Steelers tied the game 12-12 in the 4th, but the Bengals responded with two field goals to win the game.

Heading into the fourth quarter, the Steelers were only ahead 14-10.  With 7 minutes left in the fourth, Roethlisberger completed a 25 yard pass to Mike Wallace for a touchdown.  The Steelers later sealed the victory with a 3 yard pass touchdown for Hines Ward.

The Steelers have a bye this week, and will face the Denver Broncos next week.
