Brees passes Saints past Steelers' leaky pass defense

The Big Easy turned out to be anything but that for the Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger in particular.

Roethlisberger struggled to get in sync with his receivers for much of Sunday night, and the Steelers were not able to overcome that and a leaky pass defense despite some late heroics by their franchise quarterback.

Roethlisberger threw for 195 yards at the Louisiana Superdome but couldn't bring the Steelers all the way back after he led a four-play, 68-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. As a result, the Steelers lost to the Saints, 20-10, in a raucous stadium where the noise level unofficially qualified as ear splitting.

wait a second, i thought fans here were saying the steelers' pass defense was good and that the stats mean nothing.

the 3-man rushes and predictable blitzes need to go. the saints had the right idea. they attacked, attacked and attacked. they did not go into a weak prevent like the steelers' defense seems to do week in and week out.
