Just like the Steelers wide receivers mimicked rolling dice in the back of the end zone, the Minnesota Vikings rolled their own die in today’s matchup, opting to sit quarterback Sam Bradford and his injured knee and start backup Case Keenum instead. The move did not pay off as the Steelers rolled to a 26-9 victory over the Bradford-less Vikings in their home opener.
While the Steelers offense still ached through minor growing pains in today’s victory, the arrow does seem to be pointed up from last weekend’s subpar showing. While Ben Roethlisberger put up the usual ‘Home Ben’ numbers – two touchdowns, no interceptions and a 104.
