Emphasis on tackling. The majority of pittsburgh's O is YAC...yds after catch for their WRs, and yds after contact for their RBs. Also concentrate on taking away Bell and Brown. That may let Bryant have a big play or two, but our O can overcome that. I am most worried about Bell. If we don't contain him, pittsburgh will run the ball to death, thus limiting our offensive snaps and likely win the game.
Our O simply needs to keep doing what it is doing. Take what the D gives you. Let them cover/take away who they think will hurt them most, then give it to the playmakers who they let us have. We have a very decent shot at coming away with a win in pittsburgh. If we do, we take a stranglehold on the AFCN.
