On a day where defenses controlled the flow of the game it stands to reason that two fourth quarter returns for touchdowns led the Steelers to a hard fought victory. LaMarr Woodley scooped up a Brett Favre fumble for a 77-yard touchdown with 6:23 remaining, and Keyaron Fox grabbed a tipped pass taking it 82 yards to the house to clinch the win with just a minute remaining. This was the marquee game of the week and it did not fail to deliver in terms of being a hard fought battle with an exciting finish.

NFL: Thoughts and Observations From Opening Night – Tennessee v. Pittsburgh

The NFL season kicked 0ff last night with a battle between two teams, Pittsburgh and Tennessee, heavily favored to contend for the AFC crown this season.
