The Pittsburgh Steelers Report: Ben Leads Winning Drive Over Eagles 16-14; Significant Stats After 4 Games

Steelers Edge Eagles 16-14

The Steelers should get down on their knees and thank the Good Lord Mike Vick is prone to turning the ball over---a lot. Even more disturbing for the Eagles, he's a fumble machine in the Red Zone.

Big Ben was able to come through with another winning drive converting a pair of third downs during a 64-yard drive. All that was left was for Shawn Suisham to nail a 34-yard field goal as the clock ran out. Coach Tomlin said it best: "We had the ball last...such is life."

Mendenhall had the best performance for a Steeler back this season with 101 all purpose yards.

Wallace and Brown combined for four drops with Antonio Brown's dropping one in the end zone.

It appeared Troy Polamalu aggravated a previous calf injury that kept him out of the previous two games. Woodley also left the game with an injury.
