The first Dallas touchdown was the first scoring connection from Romo to Jason Witten this season.
After two long completions to backup tight end John Hanna, Romo found Witten along the seam and hit him in stride at the goal line on a 17-yard score for a 10-0 Dallas lead in the second quarter. Witten’s only other TD came from Kyle Orton at the end of a blowout loss to Chicago.
Roethlisberger pulled the Steelers even at 10. He stepped away from pressure and used a couple of pump fakes to keep pass rushers away before finding Heath Miller wide open along the sideline on a 30-yard score.
After stopping to make the catch, Miller ran in untouched to chants of “Heath” from the black-and-gold clad fans.
Miller finished with eight catches for 76 yards, and Miles Austin led Dallas with seven catches for 79 yards.
