Roethlisberger and the rest of the first-team offense marched down the field with ease against the much-hyped Eagles defense. Rashard Mendenhall rushed six times for 28 yards, while Jerricho Cotchery -- who played in his first game as a Steeler -- and Antonio Brown both caught touchdown passes. M |

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - Ray Horton has the credentials to prove what kind of man he is. This is, after all, the guy who just before leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers' coaching staff virtually gave his 1999 Mercedes convertible to a cafeteria worker. Correct that.

He's also not always Mr. Nice Guy in his new job as defensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals. ``He's a go |
