7. Mewelde Moore

Every second stringer is one play away from a starting job. In Mewelde's case, it was two. With both Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall injured, Moore played big when he was needed. If not for him, the Steelers might have found themselves a bit farther down the standings.

Mewelde Moore hit the end zone twice and Byron Leftwich even got into the act as the Steelers turn the Bengals into creamed kitty, 38-10.  Speaking of hitting, Ryan Fitzpatrick hit the turf seven times thanks to the efforts of LaMarr Woodley, James Harrison, Lawrence Timmons and James Farrior, while for the first time this season Ben Rothlisberger was not sacked at all.

Gary Russell carried 6 times for 25 yards.  The primary role of Najeh Davenport was to return kickoffs; he gained 70 yards on 3 attempts.
