Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Steelers in 2010 established themselves as a running and passing power. Which one of these outstanding quarterbacks did Ben Roethlisberger not beat in the passer rating category?

Answer: Phillip Rivers

Ben finished with a passer rating of 97.0. Phillip ended with 101.8, the second best and led the league in receiving yards. But, Rivers' Chargers still missed the playoffs.

2. Who led the Steelers in tackles?

Answer: Lawrence Timmons

Troy sat out a few games this season but still led the Steelers with seven interceptions on the year. The 2009 Defensive Player of the Year, James Harrison, didn't have as much of a productive season, but still had 10.5 sacks while LaMarr had 9.5. Overall, their fellow linebacker Lawrence Timmons led in tackles for the team.

3. Which of these quarterbacks was sacked just one time less then Ben Roethlisberger in the season?

Answer: Aaron Rodgers

Many quarterbacks were injured in 2010. Some were Tony Romo, Michael Vick, Aaron Rodgers, and Jay Cutler (52 sacks, a league high). Ben was only injured from a punch to the nose in a game against the Ravens.

4. Did the Steelers win their division and a first round bye in the playoffs?

Answer: Yes

The Steelers had the same record as the Ravens, 12-4. The Steelers had one more division win so they were granted the #2 seed in the AFC, and the #3 seed in the NFL behind the Falcons (13-3) and Patriots (14-2).

5. What Pittsburgh Steeler speedster came in a close second on average yards per catch, right behind DeSean Jackson of the Eagles?

Answer: Mike Wallace

Mike Wallace out-ran every defense and finished the year with 1257 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. Antwann was invited back to the team after a four-year stint with the Redskins after the release of Santonio Holmes. Mike was meant to take Santonio's place as the go-to wide receiver. He averaged 21.0 yards a catch closey precede by DeSean Jackson who had 22.1 yards per catch.

6. What player returned to the Steelers after four years with the Redskins?

Answer: Antwaan Randle El

Shortly after the fifth Super Bowl trophy was brought home to Pittsburgh, Antwaan was released. After four years with the Redskins, he returned to Pittsburgh at the start of the 2010 after the release of Santonio Holmes.

7. Which position (highest scoring position on the team) did Jeff Reed and Shaun Suisham play?

Answer: Kicker

Jeff Reed was released halfway into the season and was replaced by Shaun Suisham. Combined, they scored the most points on the team. The highest scoring player was Rashard Mendenhall, but the highest scoring position was kicker.

8. Who usually did the kick returning and punt returning for the Steelers?

Answer: Emmanual Sanders

A rookie out of the Southern Methodist college, Emmanual was drafted in the third round and was a great kick returner for the Steelers in his rookie year.

9. Which running back on the Steelers tied for second place in touchdowns with BenJarvus Green-Ellis of the Patriots having 13 rushing touchdowns?

Answer: Rashard Mendenhall

Rashard was preceded by only Arian Foster on the Texans who had 16 touchdowns. Rashard averaged almost 80 yards per game.

10. Which Steeler led the team with seven interceptions?

Answer: Troy Polamalu

Even after missing two games, he still had five more interceptions over every player on the defense. It's safe to say that without Troy Polamalu, the Steelers defense wouldn't have as many turnovers.
