| The 05 Pittsburgh Steelers offense had a great group of athletes but two names that stuck out were Hines Ward and Ben Roethlisberger. Names like Willy Parker, Alan Faneca, Heath Miller, Jerome Bettis, and Jeff Hartings. Our Offense was also one of the top teams in the league putting up a total of 389 points last year. The Steelers could relay on their dominate run game or go to the air feeling pretty confident only throwing 7 interceptions all season. The Offense lead the Steelers to the super blow and making Big Ben the youngest quarterback ever to win a super bowl. |

Alan Faneca, Jeff Hartings, and Marvel Smith blocked for the Steelers and could take on just about any one and gave Big Ben all the time that he needed. Heath Miller a rookie in the NFL was a great addition to the Pittsburgh offence not only for catching the ball and getting in the end zone but also for blocking and giving Big Ben more time to throw the ball. Lastly, Hines Ward led the Steelers in receptions and had 975, averaged 14.1yards per catch, and had 11 touchdowns.

| The Steelers receivers and tight ends had a total of 20 touchdowns and was ranked 15th in scoring. The receivers and tight ends included Hines Ward, Antwaan Randel El, and Heath Miller. The Pittsburgh receivers were fast, strong, great rout runners, and were excellent blockers. Hines Ward is the best blocking receiver in the league, Antwaan is on of the fastest and is the best at running trick plays, and Heath Miller is the best rookie tight end in the league and he can do just about anything you tell him to. Cornerbacks and safety’s fear all three of these players and they never under estimate them. |
