The Pittsburgh Steelers won the NFL regular season opener over the Tennessee Titans in overtime on Thursday night, 13-10. However, the win might have cost them their best player, Troy Polamalu, for 3-6 weeks with a MCL sprain.

“It is speculation at this point [how long he will be out],” Steelers’ coach Mike Tomlin said.

The final score of the game pretty much tells the whole story. It was a back and forth defensive battle with very few big plays on offense. In the end, the Steelers were the slightly better football team.

“It’s nice to know we can win close games,” Jeff Reed, who kicked the game winning field goal, said. “This is my eighth year here and I’ve been in a lot of close games, and we usually are on the up side of those.”

Our opinions of both teams have not changed. Barring any major injuries, they will both be in the playoffs.
