Pittsburgh ? Ben Roethlisberger liked almost nothing about his one half of play. The 247 yards passing, the three consecutive scoring drives, the big shift in momentum didn’t impress him at all.

Roethlisberger, effective for only one drive previously in this preseason, had a big half statistically even though he was disappointed by it, and the Pittsburgh Steelers shook off numerous mistakes to defeat the cross-state Philadelphia Eagles, 27-13, Sunday night.

Roethlisberger didn’t pass for a score, but spread the ball among seven receivers, and six caught at least one of 18 yards or longer. Running back Najeh Davenport had two long receptions totaling 58 yards on screen passes that fooled the Eagles, and tight end Heath Miller, often absent in the offense in the past, had two for 50 yards.

Still, Roethlisberger wasn’t pleased.

“No, I’m not real happy,” he said. “We missed a couple of things, some things could have been better, but I told some of those guys I’ll get better and I’ll be sure to hit them.”

Pro Bowl running back Willie Parker, limited to four carries before now because of a sore knee that sidelined him for two weeks of training camp, ran 18 yards for a score following Roethlisberger’s 22-yard completion to Santonio Holmes during a 13-point second quarter for Pittsburgh.
