THE 50-YARD LINE

     Rah, rah, ree, kick him in the knee. Rah, rah, rass, kick him in the other knee! Your Pittsburgh Steelers take their show on the road to St Louie this afternoon as they kickoff against the Rams. These are your keys for today's game. 1)St Louie's vaunted defense is 3rd-worst in rushing yards allowed, surrendering an average of 153 per game. That's good news for the Steelers as they welcome back RB Le'Veon Bell, the NFL's second-leading rusher from a year ago. He joins RB DeAngelo Williams who is currently second in the league with 204 yards. Run over the Rams! 2)St Louie's D has also allowed quarterbacks to complete 80.9% of their passes, 2nd-worst in the league. They may have their hands full with Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. Big Ben is 2nd-best in the NFL with 720 passing yards. The Steelers lead the NFL with an average of 469 yards per game. Score early, score often, score BIG! 3)Watch out for the trap game. You don't want to get caught looking ahead to Thursday's battle with the Baltimorons. Hit them early, hit them often, hit them HARD! Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
