Bruce Gradkowski - Browns coaches clearly had no confidence in the passing game. Hit as he was throwing on several occasions. 32-yard pick-6 to Tyrone Carter.
Josh Cribbs -
Jamal Lewis -
Jerome Harrison - Couldn't turn the corner against Steeler D.
Braylon Edwards -
Donte Stallworth -
Martin Rucker - Caught a nice gainer, but Troy Polamalu knocked it out of his hands, and a premature whistle took a Steelers defensive TD off the boards.
Ben Roethlisberger -Awful jump-pass under pressure for a red zone interception behind Heath Miller. On the flipside, he rolled out and found Nate Washington for a 39-yard touchdown -- ended up being take off the board due to a holding call. Stretchered off with a potentially serious head/neck injury that was later called a concussion.
Byron Leftwich - Improvised on a 8-yard scrambling TD, and it looked like he broke his own leg trying to make a cut.
Willie Parker -Showing no explosion, but took a 34-yarder down the sidelines for a touchdown. Not exactly "Fast" Willie, but he did take advantage of the crease.
Mewelde Moore -
Hines Ward - Three receptions for 39 yards on first two drives. Just missed a late-second quarter touchdown from Leftwich. His tackle-breaking 21-yard catch-and-run set up Gary Russell's 3-yard TD.
Santonio Holmes -
Nate Washington - Had a 41-yard TD wiped off due to a holding penalty.
Limas Sweed -
Heath Miller -Much bigger part of the offense since returning from a mid-season ankle injury.
