TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers, San Diego Chargers
Creating turnovers, getting consistently solid play from the quarterback and winning on the road. Not things we saw a lot from the Steelers early in the season, but it finally manifested itself Sunday in the desert. And none too soon. With the two-week gauntlet of AFC heavyweights staring them down, Pittsburgh could ill afford to drop one to Whisenhunt's Pittsburgh West.Granted, this wasn't an ideal performance. The running game didn't have much to show, but when you're completing 95-yard bombs to Mike Wallace, that's probably not the hugest concern. Whisenhunt and Grimm also have a bit of insight into the Steelers run blocking strategies. The team never seems to be able to move on the ground well whenever they play the Cards the last few years. Ike Taylor was pretty badly abused by Larry Fitzgerald, as well, but not too many corners aren't. Ike had to get chippy and got flagged a few times, but he managed to avoid killing up the killer big play, so let's...

Roethlisberger a big pain for opponents
Prepping for the a trip to Heinz Field this weekend, the Patriots have reason to have their antennae up, knowing a banged up Ben Roethlisberger is often times more dangerous than a healthy one.
Brady returns to scene of strong game vs. Steelers

Smiley With Teeth...
So, what a 48 hours, huh?First, the Steelers give it to the Cardinals to go 5-2, and then the Jags SHUT THE RAVENS DOWN 12-7, holding the entire Ravens offense to under 150 total yards.Which means that for the time being (read: at least until next week), the Steelers own the AFC North, with a game lead on Assaultimore. Begging the question - is this real life right now?And before...
