PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers turned Robert Griffin III into just another rookie quarterback. The Steelers swarmed Washingtons precocious star Sunday, keeping Griffin in check during a dominant 27-12 victory. Griffin completed just 16 of 34 passes for 177 yards and a score while managing 8 yards rushing. Ben Roethlisberger had no such issues against Washingtons depleted defence, throwing for 222 yards and three touchdowns as the Steelers (4-3) won consecutive games for the first time this season. Jonathan Dwyer added 107 yards rushing in his second NFL start. Pittsburgh jumped on Washington (3-5) early, scoring on its first four possessions and never letting Griffin get loose. Heath Miller caught four passes for 46 yards and his sixth touchdown of the season for the Steelers, who suddenly look like their normal selves in a wide-open AFC. Playing in 1934 throwback uniforms that made certain players resemble hulking bumblebees, Pittsburgh improved to 14-1 against rookie quarterbacks since 2004, doing to Griffin what theyve done to the likes of Eli Manning and Joe Flacco. The second overall pick in last Aprils draft has taken the NFL by storm, his dazzling playmaking turning the moribund Redskins into one of the leagues more compelling teams. It all came to a crashing halt on a wet, raw day at Heinz Field. Washington receivers struggled to catch the ball -- dropping 10 passes -- and Griffin found little room to showcase his brilliant speed. He ran just five times and was hemmed in by a defence that looked just fine without safety Troy Polamalu. The Steelers held the NFLs top rushing offence to a season-low 86 yards and made sure Griffin got knocked around whenever he attempted to freelance. Washington did its best to free up space for Griffin, at one point sending him out as a wide receiver in the second quarter. But Griffin was flagged for pass interference while trying to grab Josh Morgans wobbly pass, another mistake by the Redskins on an afternoon full of them While Washington looked very much like a work in progress, the Steelers continued to round into form. Pittsburgh wobbled to a 2-3 start that included losses to Oakland and Tennessee, raising questions about the Steelers ability to contender. Not so fast. Roethlisberger continued to thrive in new offensive co-ordinator Todd Haleys system, spreading 24 completions to nine receivers. Dwyer, starting in place of injured Rashard Mendenhall, became the first Steelers running back to top 100 yards in consecutive games in four years. Pittsburgh wasted little time putting the pressure on. Roethlisberger marched the Steelers 76 yards on 12 plays to start the game, the final play a 1-yard touchdown pass to little-used tight end Leonard Pope. The Steelers made it 10-0 on a 48-yard field goal by Shaun Suisham, but the Redskins got back in it briefly when Griffin connected with Santana Moss for a 2-yard score on fourth-and-goal. The extra point was blocked, however. Pittsburgh, which reached Washington territory on its first six possessions, went in front 17-6 when Roethlisberger ad-libbed in the pocket and found Miller in the back of the end zone. The score was Millers 37th career scoring grab, tying him with Elbie Nickel for the franchise record for touchdown receptions by a tight end. Suisham added a second field goal late in the half. The Steelers made a habit the first few weeks of the season of failing to put away opponents. They had no trouble Sunday. After Kai Forbaths field goal pulled Washington within 20-9, Roethlisberger directed Pittsburgh 80 yards in 11 plays, pushing the lead to 27-9 on a 1-yard flip to fullback Will Johnson. Washington mustered little the rest of the way and eventually lost its composure. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall was ejected in the fourth quarter after getting in the face of an official, and Griffin ended the day with a simple kneel down on the Redskins last possession, eager to get out of the rain and away from the worst performance of his short career.

Four days later, he found himself atop the leaderboard. The 52-year-old Peoples matched his career best with a 10-under 62 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead in the Champions Tours event. "It was pretty much a dream round out of nowhere," Peoples said. Peoples, who twice shot 62 on the PGA Tour, made six straight birdies at the TPC Twin Cities to get to 10 under through seven holes, also birdied Nos. 10, 12 and 13 and closed with an 8-foot birdie putt on No. 18. Winless on the 50-and-over tour, he had a 14-under 130 total. Eduardo Romero was second after a 65, and Joe Daley was another stroke back after a 67. The last time Peoples led going into the final round was the 1990 Buick Southern Open. Peoples has played 303 PGA Tour events and 50 Champions Tour events since his last win at the 1992 Anheuser Busch Classic. He knows hell be "a nervous wreck" on Sunday. "You just got to hit the first tee shot, progress through the round and take each shot as they come," he said. "Well just see what happens." In nine previous starts this year, Peoples has finished better than 50th only twice. The two-tiime PGA Tour winner was third in the Minnesota event two years ago for his best Champions Tour finish.dddddddddddd "I was doing a lot of things wrong in my golf swing and it became a habit," Peoples said. "One thing kind of compounds itself and leads to another and you start compensating for the way youre swinging." That changed about six weeks ago when he got more body rotation into his swing, rather than leaning and lunging at the ball. The 58-year-old Romero went back to a belly putter last week in the Senior British Open. "Now I have a lot of confidence on my putt," he said. His 1.607 putting average this week is seventh best in the field. "My game from the tee to the green is fantastic, and then on the green it wasnt, but no more," he said. Olin Browne (67) and Joel Edwards (69) were 9 under, and Lance Ten Brock (65), Tom Kite (67), Bernhard Langer (69), Mark McNulty (70), Chien Soon Lu (71), Steve Pate (71) and Peter Senior (71) followed at 8 under. Defending champion Jay Haas was 12 strokes back after his second straight 71. The course received an inch of rain overnight, further softening the greens. Fifty of 81 players broke par Saturday, one more than were in red numbers Friday. ' ' '
