49ers prove what their made of!

The San Francisco 49ers put on a show on Monday Night Football. They held the now 10-4 Steelers to only 3 points! The 49ers got the job done on both sides of the football, showing pure domination! The Steelers offensive line could not stop the 49ers defense. Rookie Aldon Smith set a 49ers team record by getting his 13th sack of the season, he had 2.5 sacks in this game. The 49ers are the only team to not allow a rushing touchdown through its first 14 games of the season! San Francisco proved that they are ready to be back in the national spotlight! The big question of the night though was: Should Ben Roethlisberger have played in this game? He was in a walking boot all week. In my opinion, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin should have sat Big Ben out of this game. They have already clinched a playoff spot. I realize they are playing for a first round bye and home field advantage, but is it worth it to worsen your quarterback's injury by playing him? Big Ben made his team worse tonight by playing injured. If he wanted to help his team, he should have stayed on the sidelines. I would rather have a healthy Roethlisberger in the playoffs than one who is still severely injured. This was a mistake made by Tomlin that may end up costing his team the season in the long run!
