Despite offering up four turnovers, Pittsburgh held Cincinnati to a touchdown and a field goal in last night's 24-10 triumph. Hines Ward's two touchdown catches put him at the top of the Steelers' all-time list, and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger managed not to get sacked, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In less rain-drenched matchups:

  • New Orleans handed away its control of the NFC South—and likely its chance at a playoff berth—by losing a fumble in the course of running down the clock. Tampa Bay went on to score, and win 27-23.
  • Cleveland's sloppy play brought their game down to the wire, and Arizona prevented a Hail Mary to take the game, 27-21.
