I know unimportant, but why they calling it a rushing TD, it was a Foward throw, albiet 1 YD...isnt it a reception or am i missing something after 30+ yrs of watching

Nope, it was ruled a lateral and therefore a running play. I have a video of it I'll post up shortly.

At first I thought it was a pass too.

Mendy proved all of us wrong in us judging him about his running style, he does dance alot, but we need him, he made the O-Line look good today, 14 carries 81 yards i'm glad he's back, with out him we lose this game real talk...Welcome back Mendy!!!

Didn't prove me wrong about anything. I've always been a Mendenhall supporter, especially during all the "Redman is so much better" bullshit over the last couple years. Just glad to see others finally appreciating him lol.

We definitely need to sign him.

There is no another back on the roster with his skill set. Experiments and arguments over.

C-town

What I saw today is that the team doesn't feel they can run the ball without Mendy. It's a mental thing. They totally lose their running identity if Mendy isn't the lead back. That isn't good.

And the coaches don't have any faith in any runner other then Mendy. Because they stayed with the run until it worked. Which is something that have not done in any game up to this point.

Rashard Mendenhall’s 13-yard touchdown run against the Philadelphia Eagles has been changed to a touchdown reception. As a result, Ben Roethlisberger finished 22-for-38 for 220 yards and one touchdown. Mendenhall rushed for 68 yards on 13 carries.
