It is the last time we will get to see the steelers on primetime (until the superbowl). I love when the steelers play on Monday night though.
Few interesting matchups i see:
We could go on and on about the "lebeau record vs rookie QBs" but Mettenberger is a very strong armed QB who doesnt move all that well. I thought the steelers were interested in taking him had he fallen (thought he was all but a lock to Houston and Tennessee in the second round to be honest) and i think had the steelers no blown a pick on landry jones they would have looked his direction.
Kendall Wright is an underneath target, a highly unimpressive player imo. Justin Hunter is essentially what I thought Martavis Bryant was....a tall, lanky WR that has a weak build, suspect hands and effort, and a poor route runner. That being said he and Nate Washington can still get deep.
Their oline is very interesting...its not good, but its not bad, but by the names it should be amazing. Taylor Lewan is a 6-8 rookie tackle that will be squaring off vs 5-11 James Harrison. The interior has Levitre (stud), Schwenke (solid player) and Warmack (massive underacheiver...was touted as "best in a decade" guard last year). Levitre and Schewnke can move pretty well, they will draw a lot of Tuitt, Thomas, and Mccullers....but the dreamy matchups are going to come on the right side. Heyward who has played very well and very poorly this year needs to be more consistent snap to snap, but he and worilds should dominate Oher and Warmack on the right, especially in the passing game.
On offense the steelers have some great matchups...Brown on Mccourtey and Bryant/Wheaton on BWW. They have a decent interior dline and a pretty unspectacular set of ends.
