"Here he is making his third NFL start, looking for his first win tonight." That was Mike Tirico, talking about Zach Mettenberger seconds before he was picked off on Tennessee's first offensive play of the night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Justin Hunter kind of stumbled on his route, and Mettenberger threw an awful pass directly to William Gay who bobbled it for a second before taking it into the end zone untouched. Gay was quite happy with himself.

The Good news for Tennessee was that, under the rules of football (I checked), they got the ball right back after Pittsburgh scored. Tennessee shrugged it off and put together a five-play, two-and-a-half minute scoring drive, capped off by Bishop Sankey with a burrowing nine-yard run to make it 10-7, Pittsburgh.[ESPN]
