Niners top Steelers with prime-time performance, 20-3
Ben Roethlisberger again played on a badly sprained ankle. This time, the veteran quarterback couldn't produce the kind of heroics that had burnished his reputation as a gamer a little more than a week ago.

I usually do the right thing by layering and going to each station so that the facility can efficiently handle my debris."
