<\/a>EJ Manuel is back, and he\u2019s certain to be rusty. But he brings an intensity and sound decision making to the line-up. Buffalo will rally around Manuel, but don\u2019t expect him to light the Steelers D on fire. Ben Roethlisberger is struggling this season, his 12TD\u2019s and 9INT\u2019s is among the leagues worst differentials. He\u2019s been sacked 32x (2nd<\/sup> worst) and hit 45 times, Ben is mobile and can buy time, but \u00a0his line is not making it easy for him to stay vertical. Roethlisberger has thrown 2 interceptions in his last two starts and I expect that to continue this week. = Steelers<\/strong><\/p>\nBen Roethlisberger: 200\/308, 2,330 yards, 64%, 12TD\/9INT, 88.5<\/span><\/p>\n EJ Manuel: 85\/150, 985 yards, 56%, 5TD\/3INT, 79.4<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Running back:<\/b><\/p>\n Fred Jackson: 117\/502 yards, 4.3ypc, 6TD<\/span><\/p>\n Le\u2019Veon Bell: 80\/282 yards, 3.5ypc, 3TD<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wide Receivers\/Tight ends:<\/b><\/p>\n Antonio Brown: 61\/701 yards, 3TD<\/p>\n Emmanuel Sanders: 37\/ 494 yards, 2 TD<\/p>\n Stevie Johnson: 38\/423 yards, 3TD<\/span><\/p>\n Scott Chandler: 32\/367 yards, 2TD<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Oline:<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Dline\/LBers:<\/b><\/p>\n Buffalo\u2019s big three have to be licking their chops looking at this match-up. If there was ever a game to dominate in the trenches it\u2019s this one. A persistent, nagging pass rush can easily be the deciding factor in this game. If they can get to Ben, the secondary will get turnovers. The Steelers have gotten to the opposing QB 13x this season, (Wait, that must be a typo? It\u2019s not.) only two teams have less Jacksonville and the Giants. Mario Williams almost has more sacks than the entire team. = Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n Kiko Alonso: 89 tackles, 2 sacks, 4INT<\/span><\/p>\n Jerry Hughes: 29 tackles, 4 sacks, 2FF<\/span><\/p>\n Lawrence Timmons:\u00a0 70 tackles, 1INT<\/p>\n LaMarr Woodley: 28 Tackles, 5 sacks<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Defensive backs:<\/b><\/p>\n Troy Polamalu: 43 tackles, 1 sack, 6 TFL, 1 INT, 1FF<\/p>\n<\/a>Le\u2019Veon Bell has been active for 5 weeks, his performance in those games has been up and down, he\u2019s averaging just 56 yards per game, and on 3rd<\/sup> and short he\u2019s been atrocious. Bell is able to catch the ball and make plays in the passing game, but his OLine is too inconsistent up to allow him to be a threat on the ground. = Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders have both filled the void left by Mike Wallace, but it\u2019s been the contributions of Jerricho Cotchery that makes this group tough to defend. The Steelers can spread you out and find space in every level of the field. Add Heath Miller and Bell in the short game, and it\u2019s easy to see why this is the NFL\u2019s 8th<\/sup> best passing team. = Steelers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>Bad. That\u2019s the best way to describe the Steelers Oline. One of the leagues worst in sacks allowed (31st<\/sup>), 28th<\/sup> in rushing yards, it\u2019s no surprise they\u2019re 27th<\/sup> in points scored. The Bills held the NFL\u2019s best pass rush to zero sacks last week with Jeff Tuel under center no less. No brainer = Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>Last week, people thought picking the Bills over the Chiefs was a homer pick. Do I have your attention yet?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a>Much like last week the Bills are facing an elite secondary. \u00a0They\u2019re not ball hawks but they are sure tacklers who are not going to give the QB any room for bad throws. Ryan Clark, Troy Polamalu, Ike Taylor and William Gay are going to force the Bills to challenge them vertically, and speed will be our best weapon against this group. The Bills secondary is going to be challenged more Sunday than they have been all year. Gilmore and McKelvin have been solid but Nickell Robey and Aaron Williams will most likely be matched up with Cotchery and that\u2019s one to watch. = Steelers<\/strong><\/p>\n
