Keys for Steelers:

Nov 28, 2013; Baltimore, MD, USA; Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le

1. Ruin Wallace’s Return: Mike Wallace will be greeted unkindly by the Heinz Field crowd in his return to Pittsburgh, but it will be even better if the Steelers take him out of the game. Wallace has started to heat up, with 12 catches for 209 yards and two touchdowns over the last two games after grabbing just one through the first 10. The Steelers secondary, which hasn’t been great lately can’t allow Wallace to have a big showing in his return.

2. Run the football: Le’Veon Bell is listed as probable after taking a big hit last week against the Ravens that led to a concussion. The rookie leads the Steelers with 528 yards while accounting for all five of their rushing touchdowns. He was off to a good start last week with 73 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries before being knocked unconscious. The Steelers will need to be balanced on offense to come away with a win and that means being able to run the football.

3. Big Plays from Big Ben: Ben Roethlisberger has been playing as good as anyone in the NFL as of late and that needs to continue on Sunday. Big Ben has completed 64.2 percent of his passes for 841 yards and eight touchdowns with no interceptions and a 105.8 passer rating over the last three games. Another big performance will be needed for the Steelers to get the win.
