    Big-play Ben:

    AFC North

    Big-play Ben: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a chance to make a lot of big plays in Sunday's prime-time matchup against the New Orleans Saints. According to ESPN's Stats and Information, Roethlisberger leads the NFL in passer rating (140.1) and yards per attempt (11.1) against the blitz, which consists of five or more rushers. Roethlisberger is not afraid to hold the ball an extra second or two against pressure to allow his receivers to get downfield. Four of Roethlisberger's five touchdowns passes this year have come against the blitz. The Saints and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams are a blitz-heavy team, which could play into Roethlisberger's hands Sunday.

      This is an interesting read. It makes me feel a little better going into tomorrow's game. I think this game could be a shootout.

          Have to stay out of 3rd and longs. We get into 1-2 yards a rush on 1st down and we're in big trouble.

              This is the 7th game of the season and against a very good team. I wouldn't be surprised to see more 1st down passing and 3rd down running this week to give the Saints ans other teams some new looks and wrinkles to think about for the rest of the season. I think we'll see a little different offense than we have the past 6 games. Even though Ben makes plays against the blitz, I think they'll want to slow the blitz down a bit with a different game plan.

                  Pappy, I hope you are right. Because your post make sense.
                  But we are talking about BA here, right? Not Sean Payment.
