The Steelers got a solid game out of their defense, and a fairly easy win. The Vikings lost their new starting quarterback Mike Rieker in the 3rd. Looks like he's going to miss a few weeks.

In addition to Taylor's strong performance, Pittsburgh got two sacks, including a safety, out of DE2 John Lee, a new starter in his sixth NFL season.
