WAVING THE FLAGS

A week after racking up 13 penalties in Cleveland, the Steelers weren’t much cleaner against the Vikings, though Minnesota wasn’t any better. The Steelers drew 10 flags for 72 yards while the Vikings were penalized 11 times for 131 yards, including a pair of pass interference calls in the first half that set up Ben Roethlisberger touchdown passes.

That was all the offense the Steelers really needed in their 26-9 victory.
