THE 50-YARD LINE

     Goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come! Your Pittsburgh Steelers take their show on the road to the Show Me state this week when they battle the Kansas City Chiefs. These are your keys for Sunday's game. 1)The word from Coach Tomlin is that with both Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Vick hurt, Landry Jones is practicing this week as the Steelers starting QB. Landry needs to keep his head on a swivel. KC boasts one of the best pass-rushing linebacker tandems in the league with Tamba Hali and Justin Houston. Landry needs to get rid of the rock in a hurry to avoid the rush. Score early, score often, score BIG! 2)The Steelers defense doesn't look too shabby, either. They're ranked 5th in the league in points allowed at 18.0 per game. KC doesn't have much of a running game now that RB Jamal Charles is out for the year and they don't have much at wide receiver, either. QB Alex Smith has never really lived up to his hype as the #1 overall pick in 2005. Hit him early, hit him often, hit him HARD! 3)This is Mrs. Black-N-Gold's big road trip. She doesn't want to see her Steelers lay an egg against a 1-5 team. Don't play down to your level of competition. Don't look ahead to Cincy. Beware the trap game! Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
