I don't know when this last happened, but I recall the Steelers holding the Texans to 47 total yards in 2002 and still managing to lose 24-6. Total yards were 422-47 that day. Must be a Pittsburgh specialty.
The record was Houston 24-6 over Pittsburgh in December 2002, winning despite being outgained 422-47!!!Game Stats
Here are some games for you to chew on:Jacksonville/St. Louis, 1996: Jaguars scored 14 points on 538 yards (38.42 YPP)Baltimore/Indianapolis, 2005: Ravens scored 7 points on 401 yards (57.29 YPP)Pittsburgh/Cincinnati, 1995: Steelers scored 9 points on 468 yards (52 YPP)Cincinnati/Carolina, 1999: Bengals scored 3 points on 372 yards (124 YPP)And the Lions totalled 332 and 334 yards in two different shutouts in 2001.
Well the 1995 Steelers game jumps out at me. That team scored over 400 points that year. That was the most points by any Cowher team ever. The rest of those were poor offenses for the most part.
Wow...the crazy thing is that they won by so much too!
1st time in Raiders history this has happened.I can't wait to see next weeks post(s) on how the Raiders pass D isn't really that good. This time the angle will be the yards they allowed this week. Forget the 4 interceptions, 2 for touchdowns. Remember as well 155 yards of the Steelers came in the last 3 drives on prevent D and 47 of those yards where on 1 hail mary play to end the game. I'm not even begining to say the Raiders are great, but as I pointed out with the seasons stats two weeks ago, (in what is becoing the weekly "why do the sorry Raiders pass defense stats look so good, it must be due to everyone running through them" post. As long as the Raiders offense isn't putting the defense on a 50 yard field all day, the Defense is better then average against the run (only 4 rushing TD's allowed this season) and top 5 against the pass. Of course if the run D was as horrible as everyone blindly thinks by the stats, the Steelers vaunted O-line and running game would have gained more the 89 yards today. Once again, the offense tried to lose the game by putting the D on the field for 35+ minutes (this is a big probelm, as the Raiders have the worst TOP in the league). This time though, the field wasn't 50 yards or less for the opponent all day and the "only look good in stats" Raiders pass D scored 2 TD's and gained 125 yards off INT's. It didn't hurt to only have 5 penalties for 45 yards to the Steelers 6 for 70 yards.Deal with it Steeler fans, you had a great year last year and a well deserved championship. Your team just got beat in a very physical game pretty much by the Raiders defense alone. No excuses.

Despite what you see in ever-increasing prevalence in the Shark Pool, acknowledging the accomplishments of other teams is still permitted. Some people even respect that approach. Belittling other teams doesn't really make your favorite team better -- it just makes you look like a poor sport.Deal with it Steeler fans, you had a great year last year and a well deserved championship you should have never won.

LOL.... a poor sport.... good one.I have been a Raiders fan for going on 30 years, gimme a break. I am and will always be a fan, but never a poor sport. I will never call and harass my friends that are *insert team here* fans because I do not like when it is done to me. IMO, it's rude. Trust me, living in PA there are plenty of Steeler fans, especially after they won last year's Superbowl. And then don't forget about the Eagles...Despite what you see in ever-increasing prevalence in the Shark Pool, acknowledging the accomplishments of other teams is still permitted.

No, I am not belittling the losing team. I just don't have much respect for Ben after the biking without a helmet thing (not legal in his case) and with an expired learner's permit to boot (not legal). Pretty dumb if you ask me. If you can't make good decisions in your personal life, how on earth can a QB make good ones on the field? A good QB in this league really does have to be smart nowadays...Blackhole got it right. The Steelers got beat tonight by the Raiders D, simple as that. The Raiders O-line, however, pretty much stinks.What he said (minus the edits)
