The Steelers had their worst victory of the season on Thursday — they beat the St. Louis Rams 41-24 in their first game in that city since 1979, but lost franchise running back Willie Parker for the season.
The Steelers (10-5) were desperate to win after dropping two in a row, and they did — but at a potentially terrible cost. The NFL’s leading rusher with 1,316 yards, Parker broke his right fibula on his first carry and won’t carry the ball again until offseason workouts begin.
By winning, the Steelers are all but certain of being in the postseason; a loss by either Tennessee or Cleveland the next two weekends would assure that, as would a Steelers victory in Baltimore on Dec. 30.
Recent history should tell the Steelers that change is inevitable and unavoidable.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger says the Pittsburgh Steelers won’t change. Mike Tomlin says the same thing.
