The Pittsburgh Steelers are still sitting on top of their division. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but in the last moments of the game Pittsburgh showed everyone why they where on top to begin with.

    It was a battle from the start at Heinz Field. Ben Roethlisberger finished the game with 204 yards and a touchdown. Whereas Tony Romo finished with 210 yards and a touchdown also . Both had one fumble each and both also ran the ball themselves to gain yards. But it was the three interceptions that hurt the Dallas Cowboys. The last interception was the one that did the Cowboys in. In the fourth quarter with only 1:40 remaining Romo threw an interception ,it was picked off by Deshea Townsend. Townsend returned it 25 yards for a touchdown that finally gave the Steelers the lead in the game. It was also the final straw on the Cowboys back and broke them. The game ended with Pittsburgh wining 20-13.
   It was a very defensive battle from the start, but the Steelers fought hard and believed in each other . They had a great victory playing against such a top - notch team,and they did it at home with all their fans.

The Dallas Cowboys have possibly their biggest game of the season with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Actually, every game remaining for Dallas is big. At 8-4 in the NFC East, Dallas can not afford to lose this game. Pittsburgh just happens to be one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now! At 9-3 in the AFC North, Pittsburgh needs this game as well. They have just a 1 game lead over surprising Baltimore.
 

The Steelers have the number 1 ranked defense in the NFL this year. They are coming off of a 33-10 blowout win over the New England Patriots at New England. I know that the Patriots didn`t have Tom Brady, but I think Pittsburgh was playing well enough to win anyway. Their defense is smash-mouth, hard-hitting and just plain nasty! It will be neat to see Tony Romo and Ben Roethlisberger square off this Sunday and see how each other`s defense respond. Either way NFL fans are in for a great game!
