In a shut out, the Steelers topped the Bills 17-0 in the third pre-season game.  The dress rehearsal showed why the Steelers defense has been ranked number one the last two seasons when James Farrior intercepted a pass and returned 22-yards for a defensive touchdown.  The first points on the board.
