Big Ben rallies Steelers over Jags Jacksonville, FL (Sports Network) - Ben Roethlisberger racked up 309 yards
passing, including the go-ahead eight-yard scoring strike to Hines Ward with
1:53 left in the fourth quarter, leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 26-21
victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Roethlisberger completed 26-of-41 passes, had three touchdown tosses and was
picked off once. Mewelde Moore rushed 17 times for 99 yards for the Steelers
(4-1), who snapped a four-game skid against the Jaguars, most notably getting
revenge for last season. That included a Jacksonville win in the playoffs. More...
Reggie Nelson is unlikely to return to the gridiron in Week 6 at Denver as he is still hindered by his bruised knee, according to the Jaguars' official website. Coach Jack Del Rio said, "With Reggie, its wait and see. If it doesnt show significant progress, he could miss again this week."
Our View:This is unfortunate news for the Jaguars' secondary, but favorable news for Jay Cutler and the Broncos' aerial attack.
Matt Jones had only two catches in the Jaguars' 26-21 loss to the Steelers on Sunday night. There might be a reason that Jones wasn't fully into the game, he has a trial scheduled Friday on a felony cocaine possession charge in Fayetteville, Ark, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:Jones has performed very well this year catching 23 balls in five games but make sure you keep on eye on the situation back in Arkansas.
David Garrard completed 18-of-32 passes for 200 yards and a score in the Jaguars' 26-21 loss to the Steelers.
Our View:Garrard was pressured all night against the Steelers and with no running game at all he was forced into a lot of third down and longs. Turning the ball over is still a problem for Garrard who has more interceptions than touchdowns.
