Keys to beating Pittsburgh (1 Viewer)

Remember what they did to the Chiefs, let's not take them lightly. Will be hard to run on them so another 300+ yard game from Brees might be required. The way we play best is taking a lead. If we get down 10 points or more we're in trouble. If we can build a lead hopefully the Steelers will continue to turn over the ball
 
I hope Danny Clark plays more in this game. He and Bib Tank Hollis will shut down the run.
 
The weather factor will be overrated by the national media. We need to score early and often to win this game, taking advantage of the Steelers' vulnerability to the long ball. They will stack the box just like Baltimore and Tampa, and running yardage will be tough to come by. I do hope that Payton uses Deuce as the starting tailback, though, because the ability to grind out a few tough yards, especially in critical situations, will be very valuable in this game. The thing that worries me about our D is that they have not done a good job of creating turnovers this season, and that's been one of the biggest problems for Pittsburgh's O. They can move the ball, and Hines Ward is one of the best in the business, but they've shot themselves in the foot over and over again with costly turnovers. I hope our guys actually catch the potential pics that come their way and eat up some fumbles. If we can win the turnover battle, stay relatively clean with few penalties, and play with intensity, we can beat the Steelers.
 
I think our offense is going to have to put up alot of points to win this game. Maybe 40+. Pittsburghs offense is good but error prone. If we can get a couple defensive TDs we might have a chance to steal a win.
