Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Steelers scored 25 points against the Tennessee Titans to open the season.

Answer: False

The Steelers actually defeated the Titans 34-7.

2. What did the Houston Texans do to try to wear down the Steelers?

Answer: Opened the roof of the stadium

The Texans thought the heat and humidity in south Texas would work to their advantage, so they opened the roof, allowing the sun to beat down on the black jersey wearing Steelers. They should have left it closed, as the Steelers won 27-7

3. Including the 2004 season, the Steelers had won how many consecutive games before losing to the Patriots in week 3?

Answer: 16

The 16 straight wins was a franchise record and good enough for second on the all-time list at the time, behind the Patriots 18-game streak. Ironically, the Pats streak had ended the year before, at the hands of the Steelers.

4. In week 5 against the Chargers in San Diego, who had the Steelers only sack?

Answer: Joey Porter

Although the Steelers won 24-22, it was not their best defensive effort, but enough to get the job done. Although he had no sacks, Harrison did get the Steelers only interception of the game.

5. The Steelers lost an overtime heartbreaker to the Jaguars. Who threw his third interception of the game in overtime, and which Jaguar returned it for the winning touchdown?

Answer: Maddox, Mathis

Despite a defensive effort that gave the Steelers an opportunity to win, Tommy Maddox threw three interceptions and fumbled in the 23-17 loss.

6. In the Steelers 27-13 victory over the Bengals, which Steeler led the team in both receptions and yardage?

Answer: Heath Miller

Big Ben only completed 9 passes to two receivers in this game for 93 yards. Ward caught 3 for 35 and Miller had 6 for 58. Both caught TD passes and the Steelers moved to 4-2 with the victory. Hines Ward also had one carry for 4 yards.

Answer: Chris Gardocki

The first pass Gardocki attempted since the 1995 season fell incomplete. On the bright side, his streak of consecutive punts without having one blocked was still intact.

8. Against the Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh forced 3 turnovers, including the return of a Brett Favre fumble, 77 yards for a touchdown. Which defensive stalwart scored that touchdown?

Answer: Polamalu

Polamalu had been called for a 33-yard pass interference penalty earlier in the same drive. When Bryant McFadden forced Favre's fumble, Polamalu made up for his earlier mistake by scoring what would turn out to be the winning touchdown.

9. In Pittsburgh's 34-21 win against the Browns, Matt Kranchick caught the only pass of his NFL career. Which quarterback threw this pass?

Answer: Tommy Maddox

Matt Kranchick, a tight end, played for 4 teams in 3 seasons (Steelers, Giants, Buccaneers, and Patriots), seeing action in 6 games and catching the ball once. The other players had caught numerous passes over the course of their careers. Counting the Super Bowl, Vrabel had 10 career catches, for 14 yards and 10 touchdowns.

10. The Steelers second overtime loss of the year came on the road against the Baltimore Ravens. Including the 2004 season, how many consecutive road games had the Steelers won prior to this one?

Answer: 11

Ironically, in 2004, the Ravens had also handed the Steelers their last loss on the road as well.
