Final Score: Pittsburgh 10, Pittsburgh 6
Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Ben Roethlisberger connected on 12-of-19 passes for 186 yards and found Hines Ward for the game's only touchdown as Pittsburgh escaped with a 10-6 victory over bitter AFC North division rival Cleveland in extremely windy conditions.
Ward finished with five catches for 59 yards, while fellow receiver Santonio Holmes logged a game-high 94 yards on five catches for Pittsburgh (2-0), which was coming off a 38-17 thumping of Houston in Week 1. Willie Parker led the Steelers' potent ground attack with 105 yards on 28 carries.
Derek Anderson struggled for the second consecutive week after a strong 2007 campaign, completing just 18-of-32 for 166 yards and two interceptions for Cleveland (0-2), which lost just one home game all of last season. Jamal Lewis was held to just 38 yards on 19 carries, and Kellen Winslow brought in seven receptions for a team-high 55 yards in defeat.
