Parker runs for 138 yards, 3 TDs as Steelers wrangle TexansFor one game, it seemed like a replay of the Steelers' Super Bowl-winning season of three years ago.
Parker showed no loss of speed or cutback ability resulting from the broken right leg that ended his 2007 season in the Steelers' next-to-last game, when he was leading the NFL in rushing. Ben Roethlisberger missed on only one of 14 passing attempts until being lifted after three quarters.
Hines Ward had two scoring catches among his six receptions for 76 yards, and Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu, coming off an injury-filled season, made his first interception in nearly two years.
