-- The big question for the Steelers is whether they can make life difficult again for San Diego QB Phillip Rivers. Certainly Rivers, who had the luxury of kicking off his career as a starter with opponents like Oakland and Tennessee, found very little room against the Ravens' defense after an early touchdown. One can count on the Super Bowl champs to put forth a huge effort after two straight defeats, and those who believe Big Ben Roethlisberger (49%, no TD's, 5 INT's) is going to stay down may be in for a surprise. With rest and more time to take reps with his first team offensive (bye week functioned as a "training camp' of sorts for him), he'll be sharper. Surely he is the more proven commodity in this QB duel. Don't ignore Steelers' prowess on the road - Steelers have won 16 of last 19 straight-up.
