against ball bears defense pittsburgh run saw supposed
We saw something in the Bears defense that made us think we could run the ball against them. We wanted to get back to what the Pittsburgh Steelers are supposed to do.
defense fun mistakes played playing watching
Our defense is all over the place, and it's so much fun watching them play. Offensively, we haven't played mistake-free football, but we've been playing well and we're going to have to keep doing that if we want to go to where we want to go.
against approach based calls defense gives loaded passing situation taking work
We've done both. It's kind of been a situation of just taking what the defense gives us. If they've loaded up against the run, we've been able to work the passing game. It's just recognizing what approach they're taking, and making calls based on that.
bring defense few guys hard identify move people plays similar
No one plays a similar defense to what we play. I think our guys move around so much it's hard to identify who people are. I think with (the Texans), they kind of show you what they have and then they'll bring a few things off of it.

It really helps to have a (good) team around you. Having a great running game like we have, and the offensive line does a great job, and a great defense -- it just really fit me well. I was lucky to be able to fall into the situation that I fell into.
amazing defense faced team toughest
They're a team that has persevered and done amazing things. It could be the toughest defense we've faced all year.
defense helps kept ours plays recipe throw
It helps when your defense plays as well as ours did. Throw two picks, that's a recipe for disaster. But the defense kept making plays.

It was tough because obviously we did not win, but we cannot change that,
absolutely awesome family teammates win
It was absolutely awesome to come up here and win one for Jerome. To win for the Rooney family and for our teammates and all our fans.
ball credit seem
They are an opportunistic team. They make a lot of plays, they always seem to be around the ball. The ball bounces their way a lot, and that is a credit to them.
game running strength
The running game is the strength of our offense,
games happens row starts thinking three week win
We like to think so. But we're not going to say we can go three games in a row because we want to go one game in a row. It starts this week at home. Nothing happens if we don't win this game (against Detroit). We're not thinking about anything else.
