THE 50-YARD LINE

     We're from the town with the great football team! Our Pittsburgh Steelers take their show on the road to Cincinnati this afternoon to battle the Bungles. These are your keys for today's game. 1)This isn't the big matchup that was expected back when the schedule was released. The Bungles losing record (5-7-1) flexed this game right out of prime time. That doesn't mean that Cincy and jagoffs Vontaze Burfict, Pacman Jones and company won't be gunning to take some Steelers down and knock them out of the playoff picture. Don't play down to their level. And don't look ahead to next week's matchup with the Baltimorons. Keep doing what got you 4 straight wins and stay focused on the task at hand. Take care of business. Keep the drive alive with win #5! 2)No doubt about it. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger had a horrible game in last week's win at Buffalo. Throwing 3 picks will do that to you. Ben typically doesn't have that problem when he plays in his home state of Ohio. Today should be no different. Score early, score often, score BIG! 3)During the Steelers winning streak, the defense has not allowed a 100-yard rusher. Last week versus Cleveland, Cincy RB Jeremy Hill rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown en route the Cincy's 2nd straight win. Control the line of scrimmage and control the run game. Give the Bungles season's beatings. Hit 'em early, hit 'em often, hit 'em HARD! Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
