THE 50-YARD LINE

     Yoi and double yoi! Our Pittsburgh Steelers look to get back in the win column this afternoon at Heinz Field when they battle the AFC East-leading New England Patriots. These are your keys for today's game. 1)Ok, Steelers. It's time to pick yourselves up, dust yourselves off and shake off last week's loss in Miami, where the Steelers were dismantled by the Dolphins 30-15. Sure, there is a laundry list of starters out for this game but the plan remains the same. Bring your A game! 2)The Steelers need to impose their will and control the line of scrimmage in this battle or it's going to be another long day. Surely there are some players on the defense that would love nothing more than to rock Pats QB Tom Brady's world. And don't forget about their twin tight end threat, Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett. Hit 'em early, hit 'em often, hit 'em HARD! 3)QB Landry Jones has to step up and show us what he's got in place of the injured Ben Roethlisberger. Putting points on the board early is a good way to start the day. Don't wait to see what the New England defense gives you. Take what you can get. Score early, score often, score BIG! Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
