A Tale of Two Teams - The 2010 Pittsburgh Steelers, Game 2

[stillers4me]

I began this series of posts with a discussion of the Atlanta game in Week 1. The premise of the series is that as the season unfolded, we saw what almost seemed like two teams, and we were never entirely sure which one was going to show up to any game, or even at any given moment in a game. I am going back through each game and looking for a play or a drive that illustrates both Steelers teams.
Game 2 - @ Tennessee Titans Final Score: 19-11 Steelers




General game overview: I feel like a broken record, but this was definitely another awesome defensive battle. The Steelers defense held the Titans to a FG and a TD. The touchdown came when there were less than 2 minutes left in the game, and was the first touchdown that the defense had given up for the season. The Titans defense was also playing hardball, and held the Steelers to field goals - a whole lot of field goals, except for the initial kick return for a TD..............

The defense was unbelievable in this game!

The Steelers won that game with only 21 passing yards!

That game was one helluva defensive battle and I remember how high the temps were that day. It was in THAT game I knew the Steelers would survive and find ways to win without their offensive leader.

My second-favorite quote of the week, from the ever-quotable Mike Tomlin: When asked if that was as nasty and physical a football game as he had ever seen, he replied "Probably until next week. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it."

Best defensive game the Steelers played last year I think. Or maybe the Raiders game. Those were the best two.
