The Steelers’ second drive of the game wasn’t as successful as their first, but they still managed a score on Shaun Suisham’s first field goal with the Steelers, a 45-yarder. Pittsburgh’s drive to that point had been led by Ben Roethlisberger and the passing game, and the Steelers managed to sustain it thanks to big plays by Mewelde Moore and Heath Miller. On the Moore play, Roethlisberger was about to be sacked on third down, but he flipped the ball to Moore just before the Bills defense got to him, and Moore managed to scramble to find his way past the first-down marker. Miller’s play was just a plain old good catch for a first down on a ball that Roethlisberger threw a bit wide. Miller hasn’t been much of a factor as a pass target this year, but he’s still very capable when the Steelers throw the ball his way. The Steelers lead, 10-0.
