THE 50-YARD LINE

     Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit, spit, spit! Your Pittsburgh Steelers  travel to San Diego to clash with the Chargers on Monday Night Football. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1). The Chargers welcome back TE Antonio Gates who was suspended for the first 4 games. This could mean trouble for the Steelers D. They typically have problems with big, athletic tight ends. The Steelers will have their hands full facing the #1 passing offense in the league AND Gates without LB Ryan Shazier. Hit him early, hit him often, hit him HARD! 2)Meanwhile, the Steelers expected WR Martavis Bryant to return from his 4-game suspension. Instead, he will miss the game with a knee. The Steelers offense needs to find a way to stretch the field to help Mike Vick settle into his role as the QB. Score early, score often, score BIG! 3)Both teams are sitting on 2-2 records. The Steelers are looking for the win column following last week's loss. Gimme a "W"! Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
