THE COACHES MIKE TOMLIN was named the 16th head coach in Pittsburgh Steelers history on Jan. 22, 2007. Hired at the age of 34, Tomlin became only the third head coach hired by the Steelers since 1969. Tomlin became the youngest head coach in NFL history to both coach in and win a Super Bowl when he led the Steelers to a 2723 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. By winning the Super Bowl in only his second season as a head coach, he also became the fastest to win a Super Bowl title in Steelers history. Tomlin is one of only seven coaches in league history to win a Super Bowl within his first two seasons as an NFL head coach. Tomlin has compiled a 31-17 record in the regular season during his three-year head coaching career. His .646 winning percentage after three seasons is second-best in team history. By leading the Steelers to a 9-7 record in 2009, Tomlin became only the second Steelers’ head coach to post winning records after each of his first three seasons. The Steelers’ offense ranked seventh in the NFL (ninth passing, 19th rushing) and became the first unit in team history to boast a 4,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard receivers and a 1,000-yard rusher in the same season. Pittsburgh’s defense ranked fifth in the NFL (third vs. run, 16th vs. pass) while leading the AFC and finishing one shy of the NFL lead with 47 quarterback sacks. The Steelers continued to be dominant at Heinz Field under Tomlin in 2009. Pittsburgh finished with a 6-2 home record in 2009 after finishing 7-1 (2007) and 6-2 (2008) at home during Tomlin’s first two seasons. Tomlin’s 19-5 record and .792 winning percentage at home after three seasons ranks second in Steelers’ history. The Steelers’ defense was dominant under Tomlin’s guidance in 2008, leading the NFL in total defense (237.2), pass defense (156.9), points per game (13.9), total yards per play (3.9), rushing yards per attempt (3.3), passing yards per attempt (4.7) and third down efficiency (31.4), and finished second in league rushing defense (80.3). Tomlin became only the second Steelers head coach to win his first three games. During 2007, the Steelers became just the fifth team in NFL history to win their first four home games by at least 20 points. Tomlin led the Steelers to a 10-6 record in 2007, and became just the second coach in team history to post a winning record, win a division title and earn a playoff berth in his inaugural season. Tomlin was the NFL’s second-youngest head coach in 2007, and he became only the second Steelers coach in team history to win at least 10 games during his first year at the helm. The Steelers posted a 7-1 record at home in 2007 and were 5-1 in the AFC North (3-0 at home). Tomlin was a three-year starter at wide receiver at William and Mary (1990-94) and finished his career with 101 receptions for 2,046 yards and a school-record 20 TD catches. A first-team AllYankee Conference selection in 1994, he established a school record with a 20.2 yards-per-catch average. MIKE SMITH was named the 14th head coach in Atlanta Falcons franchise history on January 23, 2008. In his first two seasons with the team, he has compiled a 20-12 record, a playoff appearance in 2008 and back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in franchise history. Smith’s two-year regular-season winning percentage of .625 is the second-best mark for an Atlanta head coach in their first two years with the team.

First Year With Team 1998 1999 2000

Red-Zone Receiver: WR Hines Ward has been a major target for Pittsburgh quarterbacks in the red zone. Since 2002, Ward is second (tied) in the NFL with 44 red-zone touchdowns. Ward had five red-zone touchdowns in 2009. The following is a look at the top three active players in the NFL with touchdowns in the red zone since 2002: Player (Team) # of Red-Zone TDs 1. Randy Moss (Patriots/Raiders/Vikings) 49 2. Hines Ward (Steelers) 44 Antonio Gates (Chargers) 44

Ward On The Run: WR Hines Ward’s versatility makes him a threat to run the football as well as catch a pass. Ward has 430 career rushing yards to mark the most by a Steelers wide receiver in team history. Ward scored his first (and only) career rushing touchdown in 2004 against Philadelphia. Wallace Ready For More: WR Mike Wallace had 39 catches for 756 yards (19.4 avg.) with six touchdowns in 2009, his rookie campaign. His 19.4 yards per catch average led the team. Wallace led all AFC rookies with 756 receiving yards and ranked fourth among all AFC rookies with 39 receptions. In the Steelers’ Week 15 victory over the Green Bay Packers, Wallace accounted for two of the game’s biggest plays. He finished with two catches for 79 yards (39.5 avg.) with two touchdowns, his first multi-touchdown game of his career.

Wallace caught the game-winning 19-yard touchdown pass as time expired in the game to give Pittsburgh the victory over the Packers. His other catch was a 60-yard touchdown reception on the Steelers’ first offensive play of the game. Mendenhall Makes The Most Of It: RB Rashard Mendenhall had a breakout season in 2009 as he posted his first career 1,000-yard rushing season with 1,108 yards on the year. Mendenhall’s 1,108 yards ranked eighth in the AFC and 14th in the NFL. He rushed 242 times with a team-high seven rushing touchdowns. In his 13 games as the starter in 2009, Mendenhall had 1,063 yards rushing on 235 carries (4.5 avg.) with seven touchdowns. Mendenhall finished with a career-high 165 yards rushing on 29 carries (5.7 avg.) with two touchdowns (first two of his career) in Week 4 (2009) versus the San Diego Chargers. He also caught two passes for 26 yards (13.0 avg.). Mendenhall’s 165 rushing yards were the most by a Steeler since Willie Parker had a club-record 223 yards rushing on Dec. 7, 2006. It marked the Steelers’ first 100-yard rushing game of the season and the first since the 2008 season finale against Cleveland (Parker - 116). Mendenhall’s performance was just the sixth time a Steeler rushed for at least 165 yards and two touchdowns in the same game since the NFL merger in 1970. The following is a look at the six times a Steeler has accomplished the feat: Player Rashard Mendenhall Willie Parker Barry Foster Barry Foster Franco Harris Frenchy Fuqua

Miller Time: TE Heath Miller had a standout year in 2009 and has developed into one of the Steelers’ most potent offensive weapons as he was first (tied) on the team with six receiving touchdowns. Miller was named to his first Pro Bowl following the 2009 season. Miller was third on the team with a career-high 76 catches, which broke the team’s single-season record for receptions by a tight end, and had a personal single-season best 789 receiving yards (10.4 avg.) in 2009. In addition, his blocking ability separates him from many “receiving” tight ends. In the Week 15 victory over the Green Bay Packers, Miller finished with a career-high 118 yards receiving on seven catches, his second career 100-yard receiving game and only the 11th in team history by a tight end. Miller became just the fifth tight end in team history to reach 2,000 career receiving yards in Week 2 at Chicago (first since Eric Green - 1994). Miller has 27 career touchdowns, which is second on the team’s all-time list for touchdowns by a tight end. Pittsburgh is 18-6 when Miller finds the end zone.

INDIVIDUAL DEFENSIVE NOTES Harrison In Charge: LB James Harrison, the 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, received extra attention from opposing blockers in 2009 but still managed to make an impact.

Double Trouble: The Steelers have a tradition of fielding some of the best pass-rushing linebackers in the NFL, and current linebackers James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley have accounted for two of the top four sack totals by a Steelers’ duo in team history. Woodley and Harrison totaled 23.5 sacks between them (Woodley 13.5, Harrison - 10) in 2009, including a combined five sacks (Harrison - 3, Woodley - 2) in the 28-20 Steelers’ victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 5. In 2008, Harrison and Woodley broke the team’s top sack duo record (since 1982) by combining for 27.5 sacks. The 27.5 sacks by Harrison (16) and Woodley (11.5) broke the record (24) previously held by Jason Gildon (13.5) and Joey Porter (10.5) in 2000 and Kevin Greene (14) and Greg Lloyd (10) in 1994.

Preseason Game #2

Pittsburgh 23, Detroit 7 Aug. 14, 2010 Heinz Field (55,248)

Pittsburgh 24, New York Giants 17 Aug. 21, 2010 New Meadowlands Stadium (76,469)

PITTSBURGH — Steelers’ QB Dennis Dixon threw a 68-yard touchdown strike to rookie WR Antonio Brown in the fourth quarter to seal the 23-7 victory over the Detroit Lions in the 2010 preseason opener. In a game that featured rain delays and a pregame ceremony to honor recent Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, the Steelers relied on their stout defense and their young talent to propel them to victory. S Ryan Clark’s interception of Lions’ QB Matthew Stafford set up the Steelers’ first score. K Jeff Reed connected from 35 yards out to put the Steelers on the board 3-0. But early in the second quarter, QB Matthew Stafford found WR Calvin Johnson for a two-yard score. It would be the last time the Lions would put up any points. K Jeff Reed put the Steelers within one (7-6) with a 37-yard field goal. On the next drive, Steelers’ RB Isaac Redman scored on a one-yard touchdown run, capping off a six-play 75-yard drive. Redman finished with 60 yards on 15 carries. After a one-hour and 13-minute rain delay, the Lions drove to the Pittsburgh 12-yard line on their opening drive of the second half. However, CB Anthony Madison forced a fumble and the Steelers took over from their own seven-yard-line. On the ensuing drive K Jeff Reed hit a 32yard field goal, his third of the game, shortly before the third quarter expired. K Aaron Pettrey missed a 42-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter, and the Steelers took over on their own 32-yard-line. On the first play, Dixon found Brown in the middle of the field for a 68-yard score. Dixon was 6-for-7 for 128 yards and one touchdown. He also rushed for 31 yards. The Steelers gained 286 yards of total offense, but it was their defense that held the Lions in check. The Steelers defense forced two Lions’ turnovers and held them to only 79 yards rushing, while limiting the Lions to only 2-for-9 on third-down conversions.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — QB Byron Leftwich found WR Mike Wallace streaking down the middle of the field late in the second quarter for a 68-yard touchdown, and a pair of Steelers’ rushing touchdowns in the third quarter sealed the 24-17 victory against the N.Y. Giants at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Pittsburgh improved to 2-0 in the preseason and 12-3 in such games under Head Coach Mike Tomlin. Tempers flared early in the game resulting in two ejections. On the first possession of the game, CB Ike Taylor and WR Hakeem Nicks exchanged punches and were immediately ejected from the game. The game would remain scoreless until early in the second quarter when K Jeff Reed connected from 26 yards to put the Steelers up 3-0. The Giants would take a 7-3 lead on RB Ahmad Bradshaw’s nine-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter, but it would be the last time they would lead. The Steelers would go up 10-7 on the 68-yard touchdown pass by Leftwich to Wallace. CB Joe Burnett’s interception of QB Rhett Bomar put the Steelers in good field position to add to their lead, but the Giants stopped the Steelers on the one-yard line just as the clock expired before halftime. On the Steelers first possession of the second half, RB Isaac Redman capped a nine-play, 78-yard drive with a 12-yard rushing touchdown. RB Dwayne Wright scored from two yards out late in the third quarter and the Steelers were up 24-7. The Giants would cut the lead to seven late in the fourth quarter, but the Steelers simply ran the clock out to secure the win. Despite a slow start in the first quarter, the Steelers racked up 412 yards of total offense. QB Ben Roethlisberger, QB Dennis Dixon and Leftwich combined for 253 yards passing and one touchdown. Steelers running backs accumulated 161 yards on the ground, and five Steelers had at least 25 yards rushing. For the second consecutive week the Steelers defense limited their opponent to less than 30 percent on third-down conversions, forced at least one turnover and controlled time of possession.

Pittsburgh 19, Carolina 3 Sept. 2, 2010 Heinz Field (52,130)

DENVER — Pittsburgh dropped its first game of the preseason as it fell to the Denver Broncos, 34-17, at INVESCO Field at Mile High, thanks in part to three interceptions thrown by Steelers’ quarterbacks, two of which were returned for touchdowns. The Steelers fell to 2-1 in the preseason while the Broncos improved to 1-2. The Broncos struck first when RB LenDale White scored from two yards out on their opening drive. The Steelers responded when K Jeff Reed connected on a 33-yard field goal to cut the lead to 7-3. QB Dennis Dixon drove the Steelers to the Denver nine-yard line in the second quarter, but was picked off by CB Perrish Cox. On Denver’s ensuing drive, K Matt Prater booted a 39-yard field goal to put the Broncos ahead 10-3. CB William Gay’s interception late in the first half put Pittsburgh in position to possibly cut the advantage, but Dixon was picked off by CB Andre Goodman, who returned it 77 yards for a touchdown to give Denver a 17-3 halftime lead. The Steelers scored early in the fourth quarter on a five-yard touchdown run by RB Jonathan Dwyer that cut the lead to 20-10. QB Tim Tebow tossed a three-yard touchdown pass to WR Eric Decker on the next drive to give the Broncos a 27-10 lead. However, QB Charlie Batch found WR Antonio Brown for a seven-yard touchdown to trim the lead to 27-17. After forcing a Denver punt, the Steelers gained possession on their own 23-yard line. However, on the second play, Batch was picked off by CB Syd’Quan Thompson, who returned it 48 yards for a touchdown to seal the victory, 34-17. The Steelers finished with 355 yards of total offense, including 175 yards on the ground and 180 in the air. Denver tallied 268 yards of offense (128 rushing, 140 passing). Dwyer led all rushers with 89 yards on 13 carries (6.8 avg.), including a long of 40 yards, and one touchdown. WR Mike Wallace had a teamhigh three receptions for 59 yards (19.7 avg.), including a 47-yarder from QB Ben Roethlisberger on the team’s first offensive play of the game.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers capped off a successful 2010 preseason with a strong defensive victory over the Carolina Panthers 19-3 at Heinz Field. The Steelers finished the preseason with a 3-1 record for the second consecutive year and improved to 13-4 all time in preseason under Coach Mike Tomlin. Both teams got off to a sluggish start in the first quarter as neither team could really do much offensively. The Panthers looked poised to strike first during their opening drive, but K John Kasay hit the crossbar on a 51yard field goal attempt. Towards the end of the first quarter Steelers K Jeff Reed connected from 33 yards to put the Steelers up 3-0. Midway through the second quarter Steelers’ QB Bryon Leftwich found WR Emmanuel Sanders for an 18-yard gain to put the Steelers at the Carolina 34-yard line. Leftwich injured his knee during the play and would leave the game. QB Dennis Dixon came in for Leftwich and threw a 23-yard touchdown pass three plays later to WR Emmanuel Sanders to put the Steelers up 10-0. It was Dixon’s only series of the game. K Jeff Reed would add to the lead just before halftime with a 43-yard field goal to put the Steelers up 13-0. Reed would add to his total in the third quarter with a 31-yard field goal and towards the end of the fourth quarter with a 32-yard boot. Reed finished the game a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals and finished the preseason a perfect 9-for-9. Carolina’s only score came on Kasay’s 51-yard field goal at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Though the Steelers only managed 105 passing yards as a team, Steelers’ running backs racked up 168 yards on the ground. For the second consecutive game RB Jonathan Dwyer led the team in rushing and carries. He finished the game with 20 carries for 86 yards, including a long of 36 yards. After a shaky performance in Denver last week, the Steelers defense responded with a strong showing against the Panthers. The Steelers held Carolina to only 123 yards on offense, had four sacks and held them to only 4-of-16 on third down conversions. GAME SUMMARY
