--It has become almost standard practice for Steelers fans to turn out in droves for road games, but it had to stun the Redskins to see so many of them waiving their towels and making the kind of noise they did Monday night at FedEx Field.
"I'll be honest with you, I was surprised," Washington coach Jim Zorn said. "It reminded me of the Super Bowl in 2005."
--The Steelers are still without a 100-yard receiver and, in fact, have now gone a full season's worth of games without having one.
The last time a Steelers receiver topped 100 yards came in the eighth game of last season when Santonio Holmes caught four passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-7 victory against Baltimore in Heinz Field. Hines Ward topped 100 yards in last January's playoff loss to Jacksonville.
--The Steelers' first victory in three tries against an NFC opponent this season gives them a record of 14-4 in their past 18 games against the other conference.
--It was Pittsburgh's first win in Washington since 1964.
