NFL | Jaguars blank world champs

By MARK LONG
The Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Ben Roethlisberger gingerly walked off the field near the end of the game, grimacing and grasping his side after absorbing another hard hit.
Big Ben was back. The quarterback wasn't back to form, though — and the Jacksonville Jaguars' defense had a lot to with his struggles.
Wearing protective padding around his midsection, Roethlisberger returned to Pittsburgh's lineup Monday night, 15 days after an emergency appendectomy. The Jaguars made him pay for his courage, harassing Roethlisberger and stopping the defending Super Bowl champions' nine-game winning streak with a 9-0 victory — the lowest-scoring game in "Monday Night Football" history.
"A lot of it was my fault," Roethlisberger said. "I told coach [Bill Cowher] I'll be OK. When I get some more practice and get on the same page with the receivers, we'll be good."
Pittsburgh couldn't run the ball, either, managing 20 yards on Willie Parker's 11 carries and 26 rushing yards overall.
Josh Scobee kicked three field goals for the Jaguars (2-0), who improved to 4-0 against the Steelers in September and 3-0 against them in games played on Monday night.
The Steelers (1-1) kept it close, and got the ball back with about five minutes to play, down 6-0.
But Rashean Mathis intercepted Roethlisberger's slant pass and returned it into field-goal range. Scobee kicked his third field goal, a 42-yarder with 4:26 left.
"We moved the ball well, but we did a bad job of scoring points," Jaguars quarterback Byron Leftwich said. "To move to the next level, we've got to have more than nine points. But we played a tough team, man. The Super Bowl champs. It was a tough, physical game and we came out on top."
Jacksonville's Reggie Williams, a former Washington Husky, led all receivers with eight receptions for 95 yards.
Mathis picked off another pass with 1:44 left, sending Roethlisberger walking slowly to the bench. Mathis sealed last year's victory in Pittsburgh, intercepting a pass in overtime and returning it 41 yards for the decisive score.
Notes
• The previous lowest-scoring "MNF" game was San Francisco's 7-3 victory over the New York Giants on Dec. 3, 1990.
• The shutout was Jacksonville's first since December 2003 against Houston.
