The Pittsburg Steelers football team has a lot of players hurt right now in the 2012 season. Their star quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, is hurt and out for the season which is detrimental to the team. They are now on their third string quarterback, Charlie Batch, and although they have been struggling, they pulled through this week and got the win. This week, the Steelers played their rivals, the Baltimore Ravens. The game was fairly even throughout and although it did not look like the Steelers were going to win, they pulled through and through team work; they succeeded and won the game. After losing last week to the Cleveland Browns, most people thought this game would be an upset, however, there was leadership that helped win the game. Ben encouraged from the sideline along with the other teammates and coaches. Troy Polamalu has been hurt the whole year, but today he came back into the game and helped his defense get their job done. Heath Miller and Sanders contributed by catching most of the passes that Batch gave them. James Harrison dominated on the field and sacked Joe Flacco which helped the Steelers get a little extra confidence in their playing. They got fired up and Suisham ended up kicking the winning field goal. All in all, the Steelers may not have played their best game, but Charlie Batch did what he could to become a leader on the field with the help of his teammates. I am proud to be a Steelers fan.
