[The Twin Invasion] NFL Week 1

[Gene]

Second year quarterback Ben Roethlisberger led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 34-7 victory over the Tennessee Titans yesterday, bringing his regular season record to 14-0. A perfect 158.3 passer rating silenced critics who predicted a sophomore slump for the 2004 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

His achievement Sunday was with the help of a deep Steelers receiving corps. Pro Bowl wide receiver Hines Ward, who recently signed a new five year contract with the Steelers, caught 2 passes for 25 yards.
