The Miami Dolphins came into Heinz Field for the 2006 NFL season opener against the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers hoping to steal a win. Instead they ran into a "Batch" of trouble. Charlie Batch, that is. With the Steelers #1 quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger sidelined by an appendectomy, Charlie was able to keep his perfect 3-0 back-up QB record while completing 15 out of 25 passes for 209 yards and 3 touchdowns. Tight end , Heath Miller was on the receiving end of 101 of those yards, including an 87 yard touchdown bomb from Batch. With the help of a stout Steelers defense and a touchdown interception by linebacker Joey Porter, they defeated the "Fish" 28-17. Running back, Willie Parker kept the Dolphins on their heals by rushing for 115 yards on 29 carries. The Steelers play their next game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football Sept. 17th. Ben Roethlisberger is listed as probable for the Jacksonville game.He has been practicing and told coach Bill Cowher he wants to play.
