Steelers, 3, Cowboys 3

Notes:

-- The Steelers blitzed both James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley on third-and-2 on Dallas' second play of the second quarter. Tony Romo, under heavy pressure, fluttered a pass intended for Terrell Owens that fell incomplete nowhere near a receiver.

-- James Harrison's sack of Romo (the one on which the fumble was upheld by replay challenge) was his 15th. That tied Mike Merriweather's season record, and also ties him with Dallas' DeMarcus Ware for the league lead. It was also Harrison's 13th forced fumble in his past 23 games.

-- The Romo fumble was upheld by replay, even though it appeared his knee touched before the ball came loose.

-- The Steelers might have found something punter Mitch Berger can do well. After shanking a 30-yarder on his first attempt, Berger dropped an even shorter punt -- 28 yards -- into heavy traffic and it hit the Cowboys' Tra Battle in the foot and was recovered by Lawrence Timmons.

-- Romo's second interception, by Ike Taylor, was another ill-advised throw. Taylor had inside position on Terrell Owens and Romo tried to throw to him anyway inside the Dallas 25.

-- Taylor's interception set up Jeff Reed's 24-yard field goal for the only Steelers points of a turnover-filled first half.

-- If you're scoring at home, that's six turnovers in the first half, four by the Cowboys (two interceptions, two fumbles). The Steelers have lost two fumbles.

-- The Cowboys tied it on a quick, no-timeouts drive at the end of the half, but the Steelers will get the ball to start the second half. Nick Folk's 44-yard field goal was toward the open end, where Jeff Reed missed his 45-yard attempt wide right earlier in the half.
