Rashard Mendenhall rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown as the Steelers shutout the Rams, 27-0. Charlie Batch filled in for an injured Ben Roethlisberger going 15-for-22 for 208 yards and an interception. Kellen Clemens was 9-of-24 passing for 91 yards in place of Sam Bradford. Steven Jackson rolled for 103 yards on 24 carries for St. Louis, which fell to 2-and-13. If the Rams lose Sunday to the 49ers and the Colts beat the Jaguars, St. Louis gets the number-one pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Jackson surpassed one-thousand yards rushing for a team-record seventh consecutive season.
