Big Ben was the only postgame topic that really mattered to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Michael Vick's reaction when Ben Roethlisberger went down in the third quarter, and he had to grab his helmet and go, said it all.

"I was kind of stunned," the Steelers backup quarterback said after finishing a 12-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. "You never want to see a guy like Ben go down."

The Steelers scheduled an MRI Monday and Roethlisberger's left knee injury will be re-evaluated after that but coach Mike Tomlin had no other updates beyond saying, "Ben's got a knee."

Le'Veon Bell scored from a yard out in the first half in his first game back after a suspension, but the Steelers needed their defense to step up without a quarterback who has been hard to knock out.

"You grow infinitely when you pull those out," Tomlin said. "Obviously not the type of game we're searching for, but a win nonetheless."

The Rams were 2 for 10 on third down, 0 for 2 on fourth down and limited to 258 yards. Will Allen's interception with 1:56 left set up a field goal by Josh Scobee to put Pittsburgh ahead by six points.

Seahawks 26, Bears 0

After the Seahawks sleepwalked for a half, Tyler Lockett provided a jolt. From there Russell Wilson, Jimmy Graham and a defense that was whole again after the return of safety Kam Chancellor took over.

Lockett returned the second-half kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown, Wilson and Graham connected on a 30-yard TD in the third quarter, and the Seahawks routed the undermanned Chicago Bears 26-0 on Sunday.

Seattle led just 6-0 at halftime after an offensive performance that led to a cascade of boos. That changed when Lockett started a huge second half running untouched on a perfectly executed return, the longest in franchise history.

It was Lockett's second touchdown return of the season, taking a punt back 57 yards in the opener.

Later in the quarter, Wilson found Graham across the middle for his second touchdown catch of the season and Steven Hauschka added four field goals as the Seahawks started the process of erasing an 0-2 start.

Not all went well for Seattle. Starting running back Marshawn Lynch capped a strange day by leaving at halftime with a hamstring injury. Lynch finished with 14 yards on five carries and spent half of the first quarter in the locker room before coming to the Seahawks bench. Lynch was questionable entering the game with a calf injury.

Colts 35, Titans 33

Staring at their first 0-3 start since 2011, the Indianapolis Colts desperately needed a victory. And Andrew Luck led the way.

The Colts' quarterback made sure Titans rookie Marcus Mariota will have to wait for his turn at a big win in this AFC South rivalry.

Luck threw two touchdown passes 56 seconds apart in the fourth quarter as he rallied the Colts to their first win this season, beating the Titans 35-33 Sunday.

"This win was big," Luck said. "That's a good Tennessee team, it's in the division, it's on the road. If this can jumpstart a hot streak, then that's what we need."

The Colts (1-2) trailed 27-14 before Luck got going, and Luck improved to 7-0 against Tennessee with another stunning comeback.

He drove the Colts 98 yards before hitting Phillip Dorsett on a 35-yard TD with 6:49 left to make it 27-21.
